The Doctor Is In

Dr. Michael Hurd writes:

If you don't like the behavior you're seeing, then stop subsidizing it. Stop giving money to people who do things you dislike. Stop endorsing and praising them. Stop implying approval when you really disagree and disapprove of what they're doing. Stop smiling when you could frown instead, or merely remain blank.

When you subsidize something, you'll tend to get more of it. When you stop subsidizing, you’ll tend to get less of it. This applies to all kinds of relationships, including family and friends--especially family and friends. You have more influence than you think.
