Stop talking. We mean it.
Having a tug-of-war with your partner about where to go on your next date? Whether to relocate for a new job opportunity? How to discipline your kids? Ask anyone with an opinion and they’ll tell you the same thing: “You’ve got to talk it through.”
Yes, there are times to talk. But there are times when conversation isn’t necessary, and is even hurtful. There can be power and wisdom in not talking—in biding your time, walking away, or simply shutting up and getting on with things.

Monday, March 28th, 2011The Silent Treatment
by Heather Long | More from this Blogger
Have you ever been on the receiving end of the silent treatment? Have you ever given someone else the silent treatment? Around here, my husband says that you can always tell when I am really angry – because I don’t say anything at all. In fact, he says that my silent treatment is the worst thing that I can do. He’ll know something is wrong, but he has no idea how to approach me when I am that mad.
I never realized that I used the silent treatment in that method. I’ve tried to think of the different reasons that it has come up, but more often than not – he has to point out that I am doing it before I realize what I’ve started.

Breaking the Silence
August 14th, 2009 | 
Author: Bad communication is a plague that can destroy a perfectly good marriage. Every once in a while you hear might hear a friend or colleague say something like: “Oh me and my husband NEVER fight.” This only means one of two things…that your friend has beaten incredibly short odds and ended up in a relationship that needs 0 upkeep, or she’s under the false impression that “silence” is golden in a relationship. It’s not. In fact silence in a relationship is a bomb waiting to blow up and divorce is typically the only rubble left over.
How do I know if we’re stuck in the “Silent Rut”?
Have you and your husband had a fight within the last few months? If you haven’t then there may be a problem. Actually…have you and your spouse had ANY sort of meaningful discussion over the last few months? You may have disconnected somewhere. Maybe there was a point where one or both of you, either intentionally or unconsciously decided that to just stop talking instead of dealing with the shouting or negative criticisms that accompany heated arguments.

Successful Parenting Skills that Shape Children’s Behaviors
Monday, March 28th, 2011| Successful Parenting Skills that Shape Children’s Behaviors
William Lopez May 15, 2004 Abstract This paper will clearly point out the positive attributes of effective parents. It also points out certain skills that parents must have to effectively shape their children’s behaviors. Effective parenting includes developing and clarifying clear expectations, staying calm in the midst of turmoil when your child gets upset, consistently follow through with positive and negative consequences, being a positive role model, role playing corrective behaviors and lastly, praising your child for his behavior. All these things are just beginning to be researched in depth, and this brief overview gives a sound basis for understanding the interesting relationship between parents and their children. Introduction Effective parenting has never been more important to a family’s success than today. Proper parenting shapes the coming generations, and the way the next generation will behave, affecting the world around them. History has taught us that parenting without a proper foundation has always and indefinitely lead to confusion for any developing child. That is why the attempt of trying to be a successful parent is so important and will be the most important job of one’s life. Knowing what healthy methods are best for one’s child during parenting is time consuming but a rewarding effort. Developing and Clarifying Clear Communicative Expectations. Before one concentrates his efforts on disciplining a child for misconduct, one must have a strategy, or game plan, for teaching their child how they are expected to behave (Christophersen, 2003, pg. 680). In addition, parents must model the appropriate behavior for their children if they want their children to be successful in their behavior, but that will be discussed later.
