The things we think about most become our priorities, even if we know they shouldn't be. So the best way to order your priorities is to spend the time thinking about the things you want on the top of that list; like family. One way to be sure you think about each individual child or grandchild at least once a week is to go over how they are doing in certain health categories. Richard and Linda called this their Five Facet Review and they would go over how each child was Physically, Emotionally, Mentally, Socially, and Spiritually.

Also to keep our minds more focused on families, the Eyres recommend valuesparenting.com, 71toes.com, powerofmoms.com, drippingwithpassion.blogspot.com, and ifstudies.org.

We are what we think about, so how do we prioritize parenting? Just think about it!
