What Is The 1 Rule?
This process started at the beginning of the year when I created Harmonizing With Kids.
About three months ago I discovered what I’m sharing with you today: “108 Parenting Lessons in 1 Simple Rule”…
The 1 Rule: To raise happy kids, and to be happy yourself, make sure that all involved agree with each decision.
I know it sounds too simple. It is simple. But the wisdom and practical power of the 108 lessons is built into that simple rule. Follow the rule, and as you need one of the 108 tools, skills or strategies, it appears.
How that works: Following The 1 Rule keeps you on track. The fact that there is a direct connection between each lesson and The 1 Rule makes the lesson you need appear automatically.
Try it. You'll see how great it works!
I finally created the simple doorway to all my work...and it turns out to be the path I walked.
Why And How The 1 Rule Works
Apparently our brain is hardwired to answer questions. When we are asked a question, or when we ask ourselves a question, our brain immediately begins searching for an answer. The 1 Rule is like asking our brain a question, so it immediately begins searching for an answer. We ask how we can find agreement and what’s really important to you. That’s how there is a direct connection to the 108 tools, skills and strategies that help solve the problem. There may be more or different solutions, but the 108 is what came up in my life.
I Asked Myself
To come up with The 1 Rule, I asked myself a question: “What is the least that I need to share with people about what I’ve learned about raising happy kids so they can most quickly and easily raise their own happy kids?” Or something like that. Simple.
Self-Determined Kids
Another important element in why The 1 Rule works is what is commonly referred to as, “I want my children to live their own lives.” I wanted my children be happy, to feel good, but I also wanted them to be self-determined, to figure out for themselves what they wanted, how they wanted things to be.
Your Foundation Is The Heart-To-Heart Bridge
When you use The 1 Rule, you create a heart-to-heart bridge between you and your child. That way you both feel loved at all times. You are loved, but you also FEEL loved. You don’t have to wait until there is some disaster or loss to recognize the love that is there, you and your child get to feel it at all times! Imagine the blissful power of this…
