Playing the Life Lessons

Empower your Child for Life with Exciting Games for the Whole Family Have you been looking for a simple, fun and effective way to raise happy, prosperous and wealthy kids?    We all want our kids to be happy, healthy, wealthy and living in abundance and loved. But how do you explain the principles and ideas of dreaming big, goal setting, meditation, visualization and gratitude to your child? Will he even be willing to listen? Of course one way is that you tell them what to do. When I tried to talk with my children about it, they just rolled their eyes. Another, better way is to teach by your own example. But still… there are situations or lessons that you just can’t wait to show.       Why don’t you play with your children instead, putting all those principles in their lives effortlessly and playfully? Not only will we be spending time with them in ways that strenghten our bond with them but will also be teaching them important and empowering skills that...

Decorate Christmas Tree with Gratitude

A christmas tree.

Image via Wikipedia

Make different Christmas tree this year. Instead of traditional ornaments, made from glass, paper or any other material, hang on the tree posts or pictures of the you are grateful for. Of course you can still decorate your tree with classical ornaments, but add gratitude items as well.

You can put few items on the tree every day or you can follow the tradition of 12 days of Christmas and put 1 thing on the first day, 2 things on the second day and so on…

After the holidays and the celebrations are over and before you put away your tree, collect the gratitude posts and save them for the future. 

It is a great way to remind you of all the abundance around you and it will help you to start new year with a positive attitude.

Write a different Letter to Santa this Year

Write a different Letter to Santa this Year

You know how all letters begin: » Dear Santa, I’ve been good this year and I want….«.

Make it somehow differrent this year. Help the child explain why he thinks he’s been good. Let him describe this passing year in a really positive way.

What did he achieve? What did he learned? What did he accomplished? What did he do to others? Who did he help?

Together find positive events, when he was really happy or excited. When was he most proud of himself? What activities did he enjoy the most with his friends? When did the family have the best time?

You can even encourage some words about gratitude. What moments, people and things is he grateful for, that was in his life this year?

And finally, of course, let him ask for his wish. But again, make it more profound and help your kid describe everything he wants for himself in the coming year. What would he like to be? What would he like to accomplish? Where would he like to go?

This way the letter to Santa will not only express his demands for a certain material thing (toy, electonics, …), but it will give him an insight about all the great things he already have in life and he will certainly see his future in broader perspective.

Before the letter is sent, copy it and put somewhere you all can see it. It will be a great reminder throughout the whole 2011 to be and have what he wished for.

If today was your last day…

If today was your last day...

Today is a holiday in Slovenia – All Saints Day and family and friends get together to remember friends and family members who have died. We went to the cemetery to light some candles for our ancestors and friends. And walking past the graves Tina said: “Mummy, when you die, I will build the largest and most beautiful monument on your grave.”

But I don’t want others to remember me because of the biggest tombstone, I want to be remembered by the things I did and by the moments we share when I am alive.

Think about this - how would you like to be remembered? What things would you tell your children and family if today was your last day? Where would you take them? What would you show them? What would you do?

I admit I don’t like this holiday, I don’t like going to the cemeteries, but it’s a great reminder that our lives will pass too and that it’s every alive moment that really counts.

Now, why don’t you tell your loved ones how much you love them and how much you care, how proud you are and how happy to be with them?

Forget-me-nots for Grandparents

Forget-me-nots for Grandparents

National Grandparents Day is celebrated this Sunday throughout the USA. But us, living in other countries can give the appreciation to the grandparents as well.

I was happy enough to live with my grandmother quite a lot (especially during my high-school years) and I always got that feeling of love, support and encouragement from her. She always had time, she cooked my favorite dishes, buying me sweets, taking much attention that I don’t get disturbed when I studied, she let me go out in the evenings without asking a lot of annoying questions…

I remember every morning after the breakfast we drank coffee together. She lit her cigarette (she had one a day, with a coffee) and we talked about news in the newspapers. Sometimes the neighbor came to visit and we talked about the happening in the city and often they shared memories from the past.

She was born before WW2 and she was one of 11 children in the family. They were poor, often didn’t get much to eat, they went to the school barefoot and going to church required quiet organization (especially in the winter when some of the kids waited for others to come home to put on their shoes).

Paying It Forward with your Child

Paying It Forward with your Child

Children will not remember you for the material things you provided but for the feeling that you cherished them.

Richard L. Evans

The idea of helping others and giving is old as a world or at least since we, the human race exists. But ever since the book “Pay It Forward” by Catherine Ryan Hide, followed by the movie, back in early 2000, the real-life reaction and social movement begun. The individuals, schools and media come out with different resources and programs to promote the idea, that one small act of kindness by one individual can make huge impact on other people’s lives and the world we live in.
