Hello my friends and how are you doing on this beautiful Saturday. Well for me the show was great and if you missed the live show this morning you can go to this link and hear it:
This show was about our kids and how to motivate them. Our kids pick up on what we do as adults especially when we ourselves are dealing with difficult times. So the question how do we motivate them when we cannot motivate ourselves? Well it is not an easy task but it can be done. You see you have to be able to take time to listen to them and look intresed but in all reality be really intrested and be genuine about it. You must be patient with them as well.
You need to teach them responsibility and accountability. You must show them how to do that so they can use these skills in real life as they grow up. You also need to teach them the difference between right and wrong.
Found this great article

Reading, writing, and arithmetic, the beginnings of a solid education. But what the schools leave out may be the most important lesson of all. Without the ability to set and achieve goals, your children may never reach their full potential, so it's up to you to impart the greatest of all lessons.
Why Goals
Why should your children spend time setting and work toward goals in the first place? The answer may seem obvious to you, but not so with most children. They live in the here and now, putting little thought into tomorrow.
Explain the role of goal-setting in a happy, healthy life by using concrete examples such as personal goals you've set in your own life or, even better, past experiences they've had with choosing and working toward bigger and better things.
Have they ever worked toward a goal in sports? Music? Academics? If so, they most likely won't see the connection with goal-setting, a connection you can help them make.
