June 16th meeting notes -
We started off by letting everyone know that the notes from the meetings are now on the blog and encouraging everyone to make posts here.  We then discussed the Google calender that everyone is invited to share and add events to.  We did this for a while but everyone needs a reminder next time.  When we shared our success stories we have had regarding communication.  Joshua shared and experience where he used good communication to solve a problem at work.  Mike talked about using better skills when communicating with the parents.  Aimee said that Alise has been nicer to her.  Alise said she has been better about using positive communication with her self.  Mom shared how Alise had used patience and  in communicating during a tense situation with her showing real maturity.  Mom also shared how Aimee had taken time to pray before she came to her to tell her that she had done something she thought she would be in trouble for and how we were able to have a nice conversation with the spirit instead of Aimee being in trouble and feeling bad.    I can see how we are all growing as we try to focus on communicating better.  Our focus for next time is going to be on the quality - depth and listening skills that relate to communication.
