Ready to Learn Mom

If you could do one thing to transform your life, I would highly recommend it be to find something you’re passionate about, and do it for a living.

Now, this isn’t as easy as it sounds, but it’s well worth the effort. If you dread going to your job, or find yourself constantly lacking motivation, or find what you’re doing dull and repetitive, you need to start looking for a new job. Staying in your current job will not only continue to make you unhappy, but you are not realizing your full potential in life.

Help your child develop a list of things they would like to try in their lifetime! Make a game of crossing off each activity as it gets completed – hike a local trail from start to finish; climb a viewing tower; visit states; tourist attractions; gaze at stars; watch a sun rise and set; etc.

• Add plenty of activities that they can try once without any commitments!
• Read the local paper with them to find fun activities to try:
  • Libraries offer learning chess classes; author visits by topic; art and craft projects, etc.
  • Zoos offer all kinds of special activities such as camping at the zoo, special exhibits and activities
  • Local communities offer special events, such as history re-enactments, cultural events and art exhibits
  • Museums offer special events and exhibits as well
• Go on-line to research fun activities and create more learning by subjects of interest!

Have a family policy that a child may try anything with parental approval once and if they elect to enroll, must stay in for a certain period of time before quitting.  Set the ground rules – if your child hates 4-H or Girl Scouts and it becomes a chore – there needs to be an exit strategy in place, first before a child enrolls and the child needs to buy into the rules of engagement! 

Hope these help!
