Setting Goals For Your Kids

 

 

 

 

Setting goals  for your kids years at school 

This is a great way to get them thinking about what they want to do for the year and find their focus. Going to school becomes such an everyday occurrence. Help your kids remember  that the purpose of school is to learn.

 

Goals can be set for any age group.

From the kinder gardener to the high school or college student, take a few minutes at the beginning of the school year to set some goals. Now that I’m a mom, I can see how much this would have helped me throughout school.

 

Especially when I began college

– I was on my own.

If my parents would have sat down and helped me set some goals, I probably would have finished college 15 years ago instead of going back now. Make the goals as simple or details as needed,

depending on the age of your child.

For young children, the goals can involve making new friends, behaving in school, and getting homework done on time. As they reach junior high and high school, they might want to set a goal to try a variety of classes and not just pick their favorite subjects.

 

When your children reach college age,

help them find their focus and decide on a course of study. Don’t assume that the professors and advisors will do this for them. Talk with your kids about what they like and where their
strengths are.

 

Help them consider career choices

based on the courses they prefer.

Whatever age your children are at, setting goals is a great way to begin the school year and get your kids focused. Follow through with them and watch them succeed.

Setting limits with clothes shopping

 

I had a friend that I went to school with.

Her father gave her a credit card to her favorite clothing store, and told her that her limit was $500 – and not to go over it. Each month her dad would pay off her credit card, giving her another $500 to spend.

 

She loaded up the credit card each

month with new clothes.

She had so many clothes that there were some she had never worn, and she rarely wore the same outfit more than once. I like simplicity. I could not understand the point of buying clothes that did not get used.

 


 

I wondered what her life would be

like when she got married and

her dad no longer paid

the credit card.

I believe it is important to set reasonable limits on our children and their spending habits. The limit can be whatever you see fit, but should be appropriate for the child and should be able to teach them some value.

 

Finding value in things helps us to

appreciate them more and they

will have a greater desire to

take care of them.

When I was young, we did not have a lot of money, and my mom set a spending limit for my school clothes. I was given $100 to get clothes with.

It did not matter to her whether I went to a local department store or hit the big brand name stores,

 

the amount was the same. I would buy my $42 Guess jeans and a few shirts, and that would take up all my money. I learned early on the lesson of value.

The Guess jeans were really important to me and because they cost so much money, I took care of them. I could have spent the money better elsewhere, but I still learned from it.

6 Ways To Get The Kids Outdoors This Summer

 

 

 

Summer is time for outdoor fun with your children. However, sometimes the days are long and your ideas are short. Here are some ideas to help you make sure your active ones are busy and getting lots of fresh air this summer.

 

You Lay on the sidewalk and take turns outlining each other. Decorate your flat selves by drawing clothing and funny faces. To make this project educational, you can read the book “Flat Stanley” as well.

 

Garden Your child will learn science, responsibility and have fun by planting a garden and maintaining it. In fact, if you have the time or inclination, you can make the entire landscape edible.

 

How fun would it be to wander around the yard snacking?

Blueberry bushes, strawberries, herbs, and fruit trees are all easy to maintain. Some vegetables,

like tomatoes require nothing but a lot of water and sunshine to grow like weeds. Start small and see what happens.

 

Hoola Hoops

Has your child ever tried to hoola-hoop? Show him how. Then, take hoola hoops and make a pretend circus in the yard or try to get your dog to jump through one. You are only limited by your imagination.

 

Hopscotch

Teach your kids how to play hopscotch. Let them draw their own hopscotch patterns. If they are like when I was as a kid, they’ll make hundreds of squares and hop around all day.

 

Bubbles

Bubbles are always a favorite. Take turns chasing and popping them. Blow bubbles with various bubble wands to see how their shapes and sizes differ.

 

Turn on the Sprinklers

There’s no need to buy a pool when the old-fashioned sprinklers are just as much fun. There is definitely

something special about running around in the front yard through the sprinklers, especially when the neighbor kids see you having fun and join in.

 

Be sure to print out this list and keep it handy for the next time your children say “MOMMMMMM — we’re

bored!”

 

 

keep your family safe Kids Need To Play Outside How Do You Do That Safely?

 

If you are a baby boomer then you‘ll remember the good old days when you played outside all day and complained vehemently when you were told to go inside for the night.

 

If you take a look outside these days the streets are fairly empty with few people even walking on the sidewalk or playing in the grass. We’ve become somewhat paranoid and the game has changed.

 

It seems like the children have lost their freedom to play safely outside by themselves and with their friends.

Instead we now have very controlled environments of driving your child to a friend’s house or taking them to various extra curricular activities.

 

While this is still valid I find it a shame that we are victims of fear in this society.

We also have more children becoming couch potatoes watching TV or playing video games. You’ve probably noticed obesity on the rise in America and In U.K and this is true for our children as well.

 

But we can have some of the good old days back and here are some things you can do to make it safer to let your kids play outside;

 

1)If several kids on your street that play together,

you can get together as adults and assign on a rotating basis who will keep an eye on all the kids while the others are getting important things done.

But do this job with great care. You have precious little future adults that still look to you for safety.

 

2)Better still, play games with them.

Someone who is looking to annoy, tease or do harm, is less likely to do so if active adults are on the scene.

 

3)Prepare for possible emergency.

A family plan firmly in place and understood by all and *drilled*, may be more successful then not having a plan at all.

An example of something you can do, is hang a whistle on a string. Every time the kids go out they put the whistle around their necks.

 

They are taught that they blow the whistle hard in an emergency situation only!

Tell them the cry wolf story and let them know what the consequences are for blowing the whistle in a non emergency situation.

Can you imagine if all parents in your area are grooved in on this and you hear a whistle go off, you may have half a dozen people or more flying out the door instantly to investigate.

 

 

 

 

4)Last year on the Oprah Winfrey

show there was a family that had an emergency plan in place that was quite ingenious. In a prior family meeting they developed a code and I believe it was a number code, but any simple code would suffice.

They were told never ever reveal the code to anyone for any reason. It paid off because a man approached their younger daughter and told her, that her parents wanted him to bring her home.

 

She asked him for the code.

He could not produce one and instantly she ran and averted a potential disaster. On the show, Oprah tried to get the girl to reveal the code but the little girl remained true and would not reveal it.

She was highly praised by Oprah and I thought this was a fantastic plan the parents had come up with. It worked for them and could possibly work for you.

 

5)Adults are obviously

much stronger than children but that doesn’t mean that a child cannot hurt an adult. Karate or Tae Kwan Do classes can be of benefit to boys and girls. It can not only build character and strength,

but it can also teach them how to get out of certain grips and holds and where to hit in an emergency situation. It may be enough to get away. Also, it’s a great way to keep them fit and healthy.

 

6)I think that the best thing

you can do is teach your child to be aware. If children learn early on basic safety precautions, it becomes a life long habit.

Do you remember as a kid walking down the street, staring at the sidewalk as you were walking? Teach your children not to do that. Have them scan ahead and all around.

This will do two things; a) they can spot potential trouble ahead of time and b) it gets you out of your head and seeing the world around you. This is good for you to do as well.

 

Kids need to play and be social and it’s ok to get dirty sometimes.

I see it all the time with my grandchildren that they are the most happy and energetic when they are outside.

They actually fight less and work more as a team with each other and their friends when they can safely play outside. Make yourself and your children more aware and for peat sake, have some fun!
