When you are tempted to “lay down the law” for someone who is under your stewardship, consider the rules of validation.

{Everyone wants and needs to know that: they are of worth, their feelings matter and that someone really

cares about them.}

How can the person you are concerned about feel more of your love and appropriate support?

When you have wrapped your head around how to say what needs to be said in a way that is kind, respectful, gentle and firm, proceed while remembering the truth:

{“Leave the responsibility for what needs to be done with the person who has the problem.”}

How differently our world will operate when we get good at using the skills of validation.

Love,
