There is a way of dealing with people called the Strengths Perspective. With this, a person recognizes another's strengths not their weaknesses. If a person focuses on another's weaknesses this causes a downward spiral. If you focus on their strengths it causes an upward spiral because the person feels good about themselves instead of bad. They can mention weaknesses but don't focus on them more then the strengths.

I hope to support you here........
Thank you Sannah, and everyone here can just call me Alice. I won't mind at all. And my parents don't seem to have that logical reasoning...

I see... This is an interesting concept... But- How am i able to get my dad to think this way? He doesn't listen to me at all, my voice doesn't matter here - it's like i'm mute.

I'm glad i have your support, it's very much appreciated...
