Every action in a relationship has a cost
To strengthen a relationship we need to take actions that add more value than they cost
Thats an investment into that relationship
Our relationship with our children is no different
Saying “NO” has a cost, but is sometimes needed
What happens if you always say “NO” to your children?
Dont do this, dont do that, stop it, thats bad, no, etc.
Thats a lot of negativity for a relationship
A lot of costs and its not very persuasive
Eventually they will tune us out
There is a better way, Positive Parenting
What is Positive Parenting?
The world entices your children with promises of pleasure, attention & fun
And you think that saying no to everything can counter that?
A positive parent says YES whenever possible and avoids unnecessary no’s
What would that look like?
Examples⬇
The world offers your children unlimited, exotic, consequence free sex (its a lie, but its an attractive lie)
Telling them “no sex before marriage” cant compete with that offer
Even worse if you expect them to get married in their late 20s
Make them a better offer
To counter the popular sexual liberation narrative you need to offer your children something better
Try this instead: “Sex within marriage is so much more fulfilling than sex outside of marriage.”
This only works if you have been talking positively about your marriage and sex
Here is the kicker to making them an offer they wont refuse:
“Im going to teach you how to build a great marriage.
Your mother and I will help you find, vet & marry someone fantastic.
If you want to marry young we will support you, help you get setup.”
PERSUASION
If you cant compete with the manipulators, liars, propagandists, pleasure sales men, con artists, etc. that are preying on young people today, you are going to lose your children
“No” isn’t going to cut it
You must learn to be persuasive and offer them something better
