Being More Intentional

After somewhat of a blowout this weekend, I've decided & have started to be more intentional about being mindful of what I say & how I say it to others, especially my family. Yesterday I spoke to both kids and said that we all need to be kinder with our words, especially me.
I think by approaching it that way, I am admitting my own fault in these matters, taking the lead on trying to chang behavior, and letting them know that I intend to do this (and that they can call me out on it!). It's also a way of saying, "let's conduct ourselves like adults."
I've even started a Pinterest board with inspiring quotes on the topic, just to keep me focused! I hope this will help both of them (and me) in how they deal with others.
