Curb Criticism – Concentrate on Compliments

Providing a nice home with all the amenities is a basic priority of most families. Achieving this goal is part of the American dream along with acquiring a good job. An even more significant part of this dream is being blessed with a strong, loving family who stays together to share the joys and sorrows life is sure to bring.

So a healthy objective is creating an atmosphere of honesty and integrity where family members are free to speak with respect and openness because they feel safe and accepted. It's impossible to eradicate all criticism from every family interaction, but it’s essential to keep it to a minimum.


Curbing criticism can be achieved by concentrating on giving praise and compliments when they’re deserved. This creates an atmosphere of openness, which is an essential principle for effective communication. God's word makes it clear that those who belong to the family of the Lord Jesus Christ are loved as valued members of the family.
