The Power of a Role-Model

Teaching children secrets and values of life can sometimes be really overwhelming. I am promoting teaching through play, which I’m sure you are familiar with. But now I »discovered« another great easy way – showing them how someone else is doing it. And if this someone is a hero, a champion or someone your child admire, it’s getting even easier.

You know that my daughter is competing in swimming and just recently I bought her a book about Michael Phelps. (I have a good excuse for not buying it before:) She didn’t know enough of English to read it. Now she is willing to give it a try and I’m proud to say she understands most of it. Yet another benefit.). Michael is an exceptional athlete, winning 8 gold medals at last Olympic games.

Get in the Mood for Giving

Get in the Mood for Giving

Are you already counting days until Christmas? All gifts bought and wrapped? If not, don’t worry. There is still time, especially if you were planning taking it slow. But even if you haven’t, take it easy. 

Enjoy the December days. Go out with your kids. If there is snow in your area, go skiing or just on a walk through woods. Go skating. Be young and playful! Isn’t it awful if we miss all the December fun, just because we think it has to be crazy? Ignore all the fuzz and go with the flow, at your own pace. Don’t allow others to spoil your holidays. Don’t let the shopping wear you down. Enjoy watching the decorations, all the Santas and elves around the stores, meet with friends.
 
But anyway, get in the mood of giving. Not just for your family and friends. Share your blessings and your abundance with others.

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.

Does Your Child Have a Role Model?

Does Your Child Have a Role Model?

You know, someone he looks up to. Someone he admires his characteristics, his attitude and his (super) powers. It can be a person, fantasy creature, movie or cartoon character or even an animal.

What is important is that he finds something good and noteworthy in him/it and he wants to possess the same qualities.

Encourage your kid to find his own role model or several of them. Too often we, the parents put down the power of the role models. When we say things like ”Don’t be silly, don’t act like that, you are not a superman.” we are actually putting down all the positive sides of that role model.

Instead you should help your kids to find a positive role model. By emphasising positive qualities and encouraging thinking like a super hero we are giving our kids the power to think outside the box. When the kid personifies his role model, he is adopting the thinking and behaving of that superhero.

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).
