Red Flags

We started out with everyone having a red flag and a green flag. While wearing blackened out glasses to keep from being influenced by others, we listened to several situations and determined if they were "ok" - green flags or "something's not quite right" - red flags. These situations were all between boyfriend/girlfriend in a typical situation and sometimes not so typical situation. The red and green flags were counted for each situation and then we discussed them. This activity was not intended to take up the whole time but it kind of did. We did get to do a lot of talking about how that little twinge in the gut is a "red flag" trying to go up and we shouldn't just ignore it. This next Wednesday we will be discussing these "red flags" a little further and why we need to listen to them and how we can prepare ourselves to handle them appropriately when they do come up. Like the Boy Scouts, we need to "Be Prepared". Have a great week!
