About this blog

This blog looks at how families express themselves and provides practical suggestions for improving communication.  Of course, "effective" and "improving" are value-laden terms, so while you may not agree with each of my suggestions, I do hope you'll keep stopping by to find the nuggets that work for you and those you love.  As you find ideas of value, please share this page with others.

It’s about direction – not perfection

In response to my latest Effective Family Communication newsletter about keeping an eye on your child’s trajectory, Alan wrote to say that in his home they tell their kids “It’s about direction, not perfection.”  Walking Up StairsI told him I liked that so much I would be stealing it.  He said that would be fine as he was stealing my trajectory image.

So, remember, it’s about direction, not perfection!
