Let us know how it goes. {{hug}} </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-been-reading-the-family-virtues-guide#post-295747 Thu, 10 Feb 2011 20:17:26 +0000 Lynne 295747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marley, bless you for taking him in - and I hope it works out well. You are so kind! I'd be interested to see what you think if you look at the book - so far I've found it helpful for myself and the words I use with the kids, but we haven't discussed the topics yet.</p> <p>Mary, we keep Friday night as family night, so I might incorporate the discussions then...will keep you updated! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-been-reading-the-family-virtues-guide#post-295746 Thu, 10 Feb 2011 20:17:18 +0000 catgirl 295746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This sounds fantastic, and I have a 7 year old to apply it! So cool to know there is a MaryK connection as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-been-reading-the-family-virtues-guide#post-295737 Thu, 10 Feb 2011 20:11:00 +0000 MsMary 295737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Marley! 23-year-olds are tough! (Ask me know I know...)</p> <p>Lynne, we did the weekly sessions per the book for quite a while and it was really helpful! I may have to go back and look at the virtues because I've been feeling a little off-kilter lately! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-been-reading-the-family-virtues-guide#post-295714 Thu, 10 Feb 2011 19:55:15 +0000 Marley 295714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This sounds amazing! I am definitely going to check it out. My nephew moved in with my husband and I about 6 weeks ago - and we all could benefit from ideas suggested in this book- even though my nephew is 23 years old (but, he completely missed out on his adolescence - so he's acting it out now! YIKES!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-been-reading-the-family-virtues-guide#post-295508 Thu, 10 Feb 2011 12:27:52 +0000 Lynne 295508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mary, what an amazing connection - I'll enjoy the book even more knowing this :). Did you follow the weekly format suggested in the book, or did you incorporate the language and principles as the opportunity arose?</p> <p>Deb, thanks for posting the link, and I apologize to all for not including some sort of explanation of the book....from what I've read so far, it is a suggested 52 week program focussing on a particular virtue each week, for example responsibility or patience. The chapters include multifaith referencers, suggested discussion topics for how the virtue would apply in different situations, and examples of using vs not using the given virtue. It appeals because the emphasis is on the underlying virtue, which as I see it could be applied to different practical outcomes depending on the individual. And it gives a name to the positive skill that might be needed in a given situation eg 'please be responsible and be ready on time' as opposed to 'don't be late!' (my example, not theirs). </p> <p>I would love to hear if people have used this or something similar, and how the practical application looked. The book suggests a weekly meeting, which I cannot see us doing, but it suggests posting some artwork illustrating each weeks principle, which resonates with me.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-been-reading-the-family-virtues-guide#post-295504 Thu, 10 Feb 2011 11:57:34 +0000 crwilson 295504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just downloaded the sample - it looks like something I'd really like.

Linda's late brother John was a great, great friend of mine! We used to talk about the virtues a lot when my son was younger and I think it was a great program. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-been-reading-the-family-virtues-guide#post-295053 Wed, 09 Feb 2011 18:14:25 +0000 Lynne 295053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>...by Linda Popov. Has anyone read it or done this with their family? I bought it yesterday and have been enjoying reading it and am already using some of the 'language' with the kids. I'd love to hear your feedback if you've read it, and how you applied the principles. My children are 11, 9, and 5. </p>
