Do You Know Where You Are Going?

Do You Know Where You Are Going?

The other day we decided to spend the hot Sunday by the lake or the river. But we didn’t know which one:) So we looked on the map and found the lake not too far away we never visited before. We packed things and hit the road. We arrived only to find out that it is a great tourist destination, but not at all suitable for swimming. And we drove back looking for the perfect spot to have a picnic and to cool ourselves in the water. Which we didn’t find. And after driving around for almost 4 hours we all got frustrated and just wanted to go home to swim in our own pool in the backyard.

Just like when you are going on a trip, where you need to know the destination to decide about the road and stops and everything that comes in your way, you need to have direction for your family life too.

It’s not Worth the Effort!

It's not Worth the Effort!

My husband recently took a job to type and design the book for a colleague. He asked our daughter Anja to help him with the typing. And promising her to pay for her part of work made her quite excited about the job. She already made plans how she will spend the money.

Until… she chatted about it with her friends. And to my surprise they were not supporting at all.

“We are having holidays. Holidays are for fun, not work”.

“You are getting only 100 euros! It is not worth the effort.”

“So much work for so little money.”

I was literally shocked. Do the kids today really have everything and get everything without any effort? Is work really so little worth? Is 100 Euros really little money? How about the effort to earn her own money to spend it however she wants?

Get Ready for Back to School

Get Ready for Back to School

Many kids start new school year at September 1st. A lot of them are waiting anxiously to meet their friends, but many are afraid to go to school. Maybe they are starting at the new school or they just don’t like their school and their “friends”. They might be bullied or ridiculed by their schoolmates.

 

What can you as a parent do about it? How can you help?

Help Your Child to Make Friends

Posted by Alenka  in Parenting, School No Comments »

Some kids are open and can make new friends quite easily where ever they go. And some are just nothing like that. They stick to their mothers and won’t move away for an inch. Their mothers usually say: “It is such a shy kid.” But in reality only part of this can be attributed to their nature. It’s also the result of their upbringing and circumstances.

Now at the beginning of new school year or going to the kindergarten for the first time, it can be quite challenging for some kids to be comfortable with new people.

Here are few tips how you can help your child to make new friends:

Change Your Perspective, Change Your Life!

Change Your Perspective, Change Your Life!

I remember I was always afraid of the snakes, even from my youngest days. In Slovenia snakes are quite rare and you are not very likely to meet one. But I somehow manage to see snakes where ever I go. Last time we were at the Kolpa river bathing and enjoying ourselves and suddenly there was a snake in front of me. I panicked and we immediately left the place. We then talked to a friend who lives near the river and he saw a snake once in his entire life. My husband said: “You must be attracting snakes, you are seeing them everywhere.” And at the time I didn’t think about it until someone said: ”It’s a good sign!” I got curious and searched the net and I only found really good and positive descriptions.

Snakes mean wisdom, healing, intuition, awaking of creative forces, ability to handle change without resistance, new opportunities for change, material vitality, intellect emotional control and increased sensitivity to the environment. Really great, isn’t? And now wherever I go I am looking for snakes eager to see one.

The only thing that changed in this story is my perspective, my point of view and my attitude.
