3 Reasons

I was listening to this great podcast by Tara Brach and she mentioned this practice that I believe is a great lesson for kids and parents. Whenever we are overtaken by blame we can ask our children, ask ourselves to think of 3 reasons why that might be. For example, “so and so didn’t come to my part, they must not like me”. 3 reasons could be they are sick, they had an appointment, they didn’t have a ride. What this practice does is open the mind to possibilities instead of blame. Because blame easily turns into resentment. What a great practice to be using with our kids, with our own interactions!
