A Happy and Positive Start to 2011

The beginning of a new year is always exciting.  It's a time to take stock of life.  It has long been a tradition to make New Years resolutions.  Some are kept some are broken by the 2nd of January or sooner.

Everyone wants to reach their goals and teaching kids early how to achieve the things they want is a gift they will keep with them throughout their lives. 

Several years ago I bought my own son GO FOR GOALS.  It's goal setting using the law of attraction in a way that kids understand and love. 

Kids feel enpowered and confident they will be able to achieve the things they want.

GO FOR YOUR GOALS – How to Guide Your Kids to Achieve Great Success in Life

Praise Your Children

Look for things to praise your children for.  So many parent (including me sometimes) spend so much time focusing on what their child is doing wrong they completely miss the things they do that are fine, great, wonderful.

When your child uses good manners, acknowledge it.  When your child plays nicely acknowledge it.  You get the idea.

Make your praise genuine or your kids will know.

Narnie And A Wonderful Evening.

Well it's been a short week for us here in Menorca as we've had fiesta's Monday and Wednesday.  Jack was off school til Thursday.  We went to see the new Narnia film.  It was brilliant.  I can always remember when my sister bought Jack the first of the (new) Narnia films on DVD.  A friend said "He'll either love it or hate it."  I was pretty sure he'd love it as I had done as a child.  He did.  It's a magical film of wonder and suprises.  It ticks all the boxes for me and obviously Jack too. 

After the film Jack asked if we could go into the play zone.  They have a variety of games that give you tickets depending on how well you've done.  We played a couple and then he spotted the duck game.  You have to knock over as many ducks as you can.  For each duck you get a ticket.  The machine was churning out tickets that fast and Jack was having so much fun, I couldn't resist handing him money for another go.  He put the coin in and nothing happened.  He politely went over to the desk and told the man.  He chatted to the man all the way back to the machine and thanked him when he'd mended it.  The man realised that the machine at the side of us was out of tickets.  He opened it up and pulled out a load of tickets that were jammed and handed them to Jack.  Jack's eyes lit up with excitement. 

When we counted up the tickets at the end of Jacks game we had enough to get a gorgeous Christmas reindeer (a soft squishy toy one).  That left Jack with 30 tickets left over.  He politely asked if he could get anything with 30 tickets. The man asked him if he would like a santa hat.  Jack was delighted as he knew the hats were supposed to be 150 tickets.  Not only did Jack get the hat, he also got the 30 tickets to keep for the next visit.  We both agreed that he was a very nice man and thanked him again before leaving.

It just goes to show being polite and friendly goes a long, long way. 

Have a wonderful week.  Have fun.

Bob is a personal transformation expert and a father of three, AND a featured expert in the movie The Secret. Since 2002, his Wealth Beyond Reason and Boundless Living programs have allowed thousands
of people to reclaim their destiny and begin creating lives of true abundance and fulfillment.

**Why teenagers rebel (and it’s not what you think).

**How managing your emotions is the best way to help kids and teens learn the skills needed to lead an emotional healthy and fulfilled life.
