Gone Fishing!

Hello there!

Yep! Gone fishing!

Well not quite but I am away for a few days and when I get back we will be into the last weeks of the school year.

Exams are over, the summer holidays are looming and it's time to let your children learn about the big, real world of jobs.

Encourage them as much as possible to take on some part-time work or volunteering to a charity group that appeals. it will give them a few skills they are going to need like:

1) time management

2) self responsibility

3) focus on the world outside of themselves

4) managing money

5) communication skills

6) learning to work responsibly and respectfully with and for others

And you may see a little more maturity creeping into your children in a few short weeks - not bad huh?

Till next time

often think maybe we could teach our kids not to feel they must quit whenever they feel bored but instead to examine and look at boredom for what it is - it's just an emotion...
