Today's entry ties into yesterday's entry a little. It's sometimes difficult to find a way to inspire our children, even when we think we know what makes them tick. Something that works one day may not work the next. My daughter does not like to read. I don't think it's because she doesn't enjoy it as much as she is not good at turning what she read into what teachers want to see on paper.
Check out this article on Charlie "Tremendous" Jones to see how one father was able to inspire his son to greatness. He started out with an average teenager trying to save to buy a car and turned it in to so much more. Wouldn't it be great if this could actually work for our children? In my case, I may have to start out reading the books with her but hey, that's a good thing right?
The article lists a few books but I can think of many others! This would be a great place to post a list of some of your suggested reading materials that could inspire our children to greatness! Read the article when you have a moment and, as always, let me know your thoughts!
Any advice or opinions I give are simply advice from life experience and not that of a professional!
This blog is about the crazy things that happen in my life that hopefully can help someone else along the way. My goal is to give solid advice from life experience...and it's free! I will help with any topic so bring on your toughest questions. There isn't much I haven't seen but I won't bore you with the gory details! Want to get to know me? Just ask a question!
