Parenting: Walk a mile in their shoes
2007-12-29 05:30:00
One of the best parenting tips we can offer is: The walk a mile in their shoes game.You have surely heard of walking a mile in someone elses shoes; yet have you put it into practice?When dealing with your child - and they are of reasonable age eg a teenager - and you reach a stalemate on a topic. One of the best things you can do is to look at the situation from their point of view. Ask your child to do the same. Once you have ascertained each others view points, write them down on a piece of paper. After a quick review, the most practical way to solve the problem may/should be on the paper.Remember though, as a parent, it is your responsibility to have final say. If you topic you can't agree upon could result in problems/accident etc for your child, it is still best to stick to your guns. At the very least, your child should have an understanding of where you are coming from.CheersAndrew Collings

Goal Setting New Years(2)
2007-12-20 07:47:00
Goal Setting: Goal Setting at New Years Leading up to New Years we tend to over indulge and justify it by saying we will set goals in the New Year.To ensure you have the most success at your goal setting, you should really be starting now. Work out what your key goals for the year are. You should have about five or six key goals in key areas (eg wealth, health, relationships, spiritual and giving to the community).Once you have defined your goals. Work out what it will take to achieve them. Have you set goals that are measurable, and that you can work out a path towards? Once you have down this, you now need to break down your goals into manageable chunks.Work out what you will have to do each month to progress your goal. From here break it down even further into weeks and finally a daily to do list. The point of the task is to do the hard work early on, and then have simple lists for what you need to do each day, each week and each month,Good luck with your goal setting.

We had some excitement last night. Your editor was sitting down on the couch watching television with his wife at about 10:30pm last night when he heard one of his cats at the back door.If you are a cat owner, you will know the meow that cats make when they have caught something…this was the meow that our cat was doing. Without thinking to much, we opened up the door.To our amazement, our cat Keddi, had a snake in her mouth caring it by the centre. On closer inspection, it wasn’t just any snake it was a Tiger Snake.For those dear readers who live outside Australia (which is the majority) we will explain a few things about Snakes in great land of Oz.It is not a question of if a snake is poisonous, it is how poisonous is it. Our friend Tom Gleeson, in his TV documentary, A River Somewhere, summed it up perfectly:• A Tiapan Snake is deadly it takes about 1 hour to kill you• A Brown snake is deadly, it takes about 1 ½ hours to kill you• A Tiger snake is not to bad, it tak...

In other views…Your editor had an early family Christmas function on Sunday evening. It involved family on his wife’s side. With a German atmosphere, there were plenty of meat and alcohol to go around as well as many rich deserts.The Great Aunt who is over from German was there, and lost her dentures half way through the night, which resulted in 40 plus people looking for them, all trying not to laugh for fear of been hit by this lovely – yet fiery – old lady.Other highlights included people comparing battle wounds from a Thailand Trip, and a Kris Kringle that went for about 1 ½ hours.I will say one thing, my wife does have an interesting family.As the Kris Kringle dragged on, and as everything stopped while the Great Aunt slowly opened up her present. One bold person said.‘Come on, I haven’t got that long…’ he then looked at the Great Aunt and said ‘and you have even less time!!!’ We were just glad he didn’t say it in German!!!CheersAndrew Collings

Goal Setting: Getting used to achieving goals
2007-12-17 05:48:00
Goal Setting: Getting used to achieving goalsOne of the biggest problems people have with achieving goals, is not believing in themselves. When we start out with this attitude of failure, is it any surprise that most people fail to achieve their goals.Today, we just want to provide one simple technique to help overcome this very common problem.Start setting daily goals that you know you can achieve. You can start with a list of activities (eg pick up dry cleaning) that you can easily do during the day. Once you complete each activity cross it of the list.If you do this for one month you will have taught yourself that you can easily achieve your goals. A simple technique, but one which has been proven to be successful.

Self-Help: Are you a weather-proofer?But what is a weather-proofer you may ask? A weather-proofer can serve agood purpose. It is someone who can see detail, and look for what faultsthere are in a house, so you know how to fix your house and make itweather-proof. However, this is where the benefits stop.Do you know some one who finds faults in everything and everyone. Theylook and only see the negative and what needs to be fixed. These peoplecan be down right destructive to success and the success of those aroundyou.To overcome weather-proofing, or to ensure that its effects are onlypositive, first realise that it does have a role. A role that is veryspecific in nature (eg testing medical equipment).Secondly, recognise that most of the time, the smallest details reallydon’t matter. If you know the objectives that you want to achieve, andhave a rough idea of how to proceed, then keep going. The worst thing youcan do is stop because of some small problems you or someone else hasident...
