Do you Really Know What’s Best for Your Child?

Do you Really Know What's Best for Your Child?

Did you ever think about your own childhood? Back in our “old days”, we only watched TV before going to bed, we played on the streets, climbed the trees, we didn’t have helmets, seat belts, cell phones and many other things our kids have today. Although I totally approve safety precautions, these are not the only things that changed.

The whole economic, education and job situation is completely different. I still remember my mother got her golden watch after being loyal to one employer for 30 years. And you got the scholarship and job as soon as you finished your schooling. You knew your steps on the corporate ladder. Those days are gone.

How many people do you know that are still working in the field they studied for? I know many more that are not. Some because they chose to and some because they had to.

Coming back to your kids – Are you sure you know what future holds for them? Are you sure the college you chose is the right one? Are you sure getting a degree is the right way to get a job and live happy?

Keep the Eyes on the Prize (Your Family)

Keep the Eyes on the Prize (Your Family)

We all have good and bad days, better or worse times, ups and downs…

Sometimes we feel that we rule the world. Life couldn’t be better. Everything is just perfect.

But sometimes we are feeling we are getting nowhere. That we are stuck in the endless demands from everyone around us. But it’s only when we become frustrated, stressed out and irritated at every word and move, that we get in trouble. Because we let simple things overshadow the bigger picture.

And all we can do is taking one step at the time, thinking on the obligation, trouble… at hand. Focusing on each moment, ticking off task from our to-do lists.

And as I said we all have our good and bad moments. And good and bad decisions.

Let’s talk about bad decisions. We might fight, scream, yell… We let the bad moments win over our feelings, emotions and our decisions. I’m not saying you should pretend you’re OK when you are not. But you can always choose how you will communicate this to your family.

How Big is Your Bucket List?

How Big is Your Bucket List?

By recording your dreams and goals on paper, you set in motion the process of becoming the person you most want to be.
Mark Victor Hansen

When people come to me for the coaching, the very first question I ask is: “Do you know what you want?”

And in most cases they offer very broad answers like:

  • “I just want to be happy”
  • “I want to be free.”
  • “If I only have enough money…”
  • and so on…

But when we go on, one of their first assignments is to write down 100 things they want to have, be, experience, feel…

And however easy the task may seem (don’t we always have more than enough wishes?), many people find it really hard to put 100 things on their lists.

I want to help you creating your very own bucket list, a wish list, life list or whatever you may call it, that will motivate you and encourage you to make your life exciting adventure.

Just Take the First Step

We all want to live happy and abundant life. We want great things, perfect family, fantastic relationships and a lot of money. And we have some big goals.

What I discovered in my coaching practice is that many people don’t know what they want. One thing in that they don’t think about it. And another, even more important, they are afraid to think about it. They don’t allow themselves to dream. They are taught to modesty and wishing for something out of their reach is wrong. They were put the limits around them. They stay within those walls and never get the courage to look beyond.

But once we are clear about our dreams and goals, it often looks like something is too big for us. Too scary. Too distant. Unknown. And usually we don’t have the slightest idea how we will get there and that’s stopping us.

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.
