[@taurinice]

😍😍love you both!!!! Attitude..what are YOU bringing to the table? What are YOU bringing to the solution? Yes!!! Attitude is everything!! Attitude determines HOW you are :) where you are, where you are going..its the here, the now, the next, the forever..attitude is everything :) it matters not where you are but instead what can you think? What can you do :) When i said i was bored my grandfather said "maybe its the company you are keeping" in other words, myself...attitude can take you places you never dreamed you could go :) thanks for making videos you and your wife are ADORABLE!!! Dont know where you are but love from Chilliwack, British Columbia, Canada ❤❤

Hello Tauri, we love our friend in B.C., we did a conference there and had a fantastic time.

[@cindypgambino]

This was so good! I get so many “a ha’s” from your videos. Also, could u do a new video with nonverbal communications? U did one a while back ans I can’t find it- it was another lady talking about nonverbal communication- looking to the left vs right, etc.

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

I think it is How Understanding Body Language Can Help You. That was one of our first videos. So funny to look back at them now.

[@cindysayavong8513]

Printed out the cheat sheet. Thank you 🙏

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Wonderful!

[@ryanjane4424]

My favorite KZbin channel 💛

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Thank you, Ryan.

[@alondrasilva1570]

I'm gonna take on your challenge for the next 5 days Dr Paul

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Awesome! You find some things changing for you.

[@ageeblue752]

Many centuries ago I did read a meme, I do not remember the exact words, it kinda said: teenagers if you are tire of being bossed around by your parents, your parents do not give space, money and things like that, MOVE OUT GET A JOB, GET A LIFE AND BE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN PERSON.

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

AGEE BLUE, That is golden.

[@cindysayavong8513]

Curiosity is a great way to get out of judgement! 👍

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Hey, that is a great idea.

[@valeriedouglas4400]

Teenage girls are a completely different creature too. They can be constantly mean with their words. My teen boys don’t have near the ability to insult me and creativity.

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Valerie Douglas, I have heard that from a number of parents.

[@valeriedouglas4400]

Thank you for the response! Teen girls can cut right to the heart, get very personal, and be constantly critical. It seems even more hurtful when “Words of Affirmation” is your personal Love Language. I’m working on your how to not be so sensitive KZbin Series and what to do when someone insults you, which does help. Thanks for that, and it can be wearing on a mother-daughter relationship with that dynamic.

[@valeriedouglas4400]

Also, how do I help siblings (younger and older) who are the targets of said daughter’s constant criticism and insults?

The Communication Cheat Sheet Don’t be a bear Don’t see a bear Eliminate the noise Listen to understand Express to be understood Pay attention to your body language. Present yourself with: Calm Face Calm Body Calm Voice Assume positive intent from the sender. Give the benefit of the doubt. This can be physical or mental noise. It can be what we bring to the conversation with our experiences, culture, gender, or how we perceive the world. Be present, use eye contact and nodding to show you are following the conversation. Don't try to formulate a response, listen to what is being expressed. Use that same calm face, calm body, and calm voice to express YOUR feelings. Keep the message focused and clear.

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Thank you.

Thank you for taking the time to type it and share it!

~6.45min: attitude or altitude? (Altitude is what relates to position)

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

There is an aviation term, attitude. My son is a pilot and has shown me how it works.

[@henflash6469]

I would really love to be as calm as you. How do you actually get an adolescent to brush their teeth, shower or that they smell????

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Hen Flash, food usually works well. When showered, dinner is available.

[@henflash6469]

@@LiveOnPurposeTV thanks so much, makes a lot of sense 😀 😊

[@ageeblue752]

Definitely, smart people reach out for help; thus, we live in a time where there’s all kinds of help mostly everywhere. Parents raise your sons with good morality, they will respect women n their body, parents raise your daughters with good morality, they will respect men n their body. In my humble opinion, teenage people ARE NOT KIDS, they are ADOLECDNTS, kids do not have sex and get pregnant. Moral education is key, as I say, this is my opinion. I’ve seen many irresponsible people pass my eyes. And we will, as we shall, we will respect our environment n its people.

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

AGEE BLUE, thank you for watching and commenting. I love what you are saying about respect and teaching our children.

[@ageeblue752]

......and I say this because we all are part of this society and I don’t want a person to do damage on this society......if you have kids DO YOUR WORK CORRECTLY ….GET HELP!!!!

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

So important. Great parents reach out for help, education and support.

[@strawberryme08]

Swap “but” with “and”

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Thanks.

[@eternityseven6200]

Id do it, every day. For Free ❤

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Thank you for watching.

[@ageeblue752]

I do comment on it because I keep on witnessing selfish ignorant parents letting their ¨kids¨ do whatever they want. Just because their, theirs. Selfish, tyrant and ignorant parents, their kids become part of my society, environment I also live and I want this place to become better not worse. Look how we are, this reminds me of those kids who take weapons to school and you know the news, we’ve seen them all.

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Thank you for watching and commenting. It really does take everyone to make our society better.
