Do your children get bored? How do you get your children to want the things that they already have? Well next time a child or anyone says that they are bored, they are saying that they are bored with everything they have. A child means that they are bored of everything that you have provided for them. It could be because they have too much. But too much of what. Do we shower our children with many gifts? Things that they may want at that time, but don't really need. So after awhile it just falls at the waist side and its only a matter of time before they started saying, "I'm bored", again. What does this teach children?
Do children actually get to learn how to deal with things that they cannot have? Do we give our children the gift of what they truly need?:
Enthusiasm- being excited for the life that you gave him/her
(like they were when they were at the age of 5)
Encouragement-going out of their way for someone else
(does your child always have to be the first one in line)
Handling Adversity- disagreeing appropriately, putting others feelings ahead of their own
Character is who you really are. Reputation is who people say you are.
Some say sports builds character. In reality,
Sports Reveals Character.
