My little helper working on the colored rocks.
Step 2
Some say "verse," "song, "blessing," some are the fruits of the Spirit
Ready to be put to use!
At our house, I want mealtimes to be fun and educational centering around good conversation. So, I came up with another plan to help - Dinner Rocks. Both boys have to close their eyes and choose a rock. If you get a colored one, you have to give a compliment or say something you love about everyone sitting at the table. If the rock has a word, we then discuss the meaning and ways we can implement it in our daily lives. It is definitely helping in proactive training! If someone chooses "verse," they quote a favorite. Same idea with the "song." "Blessing" is something they appreciate, etc. I had intended it to be done during our family meal together, but I find the boys doing it several times during the day. They love it! It is so sweet to hear their little compliments and ideas about things.

That sounds like something cool to do!!!!
I love it! Connor is quite the rock collector anyway--we'd finally have a use for them.
What a good mom you are! =)
Ok, so I'm a loser! I like the complimenting idea. That doesn't happen often enough around here.
Is this what you gave your kids when they asked for bread? hahaha
What a neat idea!
