Here’s a Great Strategy

Situation:

Our girls were starting to behave better, and we wanted an opportunity to recognize them for that change.

Step 1:We made cookies.

- Start each note with “We are fortunate to…”

- Highlight topics such as upbeat attitudes, leadership potential, willingness to speak up
