T is for thank you. I never heard them expressed that way. Have always heard them called mini-steps.

V - Virtue

I think the first virtue is to restrain the tongue; he approaches nearest to gods who knows how to be silent, even though he is in the right.

W is for Why! Why question how it works? Acceptance is the key as to how the program works. It has worked for others. Why should I question it working for me.

Y is for Yell. Yesterday on The View. They said it was better to yell at your kids instead of spanking them. I think a hand on the padded behind or a tap on the hand with a brisque 'no' does more good than yelling and scream at a child. For me, it would affect the child's emotional well being. I don't believe in beating a kid, but a well placed assertive gesture goes a long way to letting them know that no means no, not maybe.

My mother hit us with a wooden sthingy and yelled like a banshee. I didn't have a lot of respect for her.
