Book Excerpt
Things to think about before you learn Step 3 This step will require that you learn the Positive Correction Procedure called MR. A. J. Dap. This is where you deal with mistakes in a positive way. You will need to act according to what you have learned and not from your emotions or how you feel like acting at the moment. Before you learn the Positive Correction Procedure, you should look at mistakes in a new way. See each mistake as an action that needs to be corrected, not as a child that needs to be corrected. As parents, we should reject the actions that lead to mistakes but we must take great care not to reject the child. I say, you should never let a child’s mistake become more important than the child. Remember the mistake is an action that can be changed. The child is the person, the only person, who can change it. Each mistake is an opportunity to teach and to grow.
