Parenting

The one thing that i found interesting was when we talk about parenting and the decision tree was thing that stood out to me. In the decision tree we talked about who owned the problem, the parent, the teen/child, or did they share it. For the parents have to start with a polite request to the child which means that they ask the child nicely to do something, then they do a firm request to please do it now and the last request is an i message, this when they ask I was hoping you do this for me. For the teen or the child the first step in this tree is that they need to be coached into do something and then when they doing do it they have two type consequences which are natural and logic. The natural consequence when something happen by it self, the steps to this are that first its too dangerous, second is too in the future, third it ends effect somebody else. when the problem is shared they have to encourage  the each other to figure out the problem. Logical consequences are when the parents give the child a consequence for whatever they have done. I thought that this was very good thing because it helps parents  figure out to handle a child who needs those consequence

Communication

The most interesting thing that we talk about this week was communication.We talk about how communication requires more skill after marriage than before marriage. Another thing that we talk about in class was power of conflict and what  the positive things it can cause  to a marriage, the things that we said  were  that thee couples open up conversation,intentional communication and the couple gains new perspective. I hope that i can have a marriage that has good communication and we can take positive things from our conflict

Sexual intimacy /Family life

This weeks topic was a uncomfortable one for me because we talked about sex and sexual intimacy. this a topic that not really discussed in my home. I feel like this topic was something that should be talked about at home not in class. We talked about making love connection and how hard it was and what things the hard thing were that were involved in this topic.  i feel like us a college students it the hardest for us to make those connection with other people.
