What If ???????? The Holidays make us think about families and our children; and many of us do go out of the way and make it special. Just think if we put our families first year around; we made our kids that important all the time. What if we nurtured our kids as a lifestyle? What if we gave them unconditional love? What if we showed patience? What if we actually communicated with our kids and not just yelled at them? What if we took care of ourselves? What if we controlled the way we act in anger? What if we disciplined with love? What if we actually learned about emotional development and the crisis our kids face? What if we actually cared about being a good role model? What if we treated others the way we wanted to be treated? What if we cared about our environment? What if we cared about the animals that we share the planet with?   Then we all would be following the Nurturing Parenting Program and just think how wonderful it would be. It’s not that far fetched, we could do it if we tried. The key is making a conscious effort to move forward and make your family your main focus. I would be happy to talk to anyone about it.

Youth fail to realize that they are an asset to their community. Remind your student, children and other youth in your community that everyone has goals and to achieve them, you have to stay on track. Have a Happy Holiday and remember you have a purpose in life.  Example on how to use Asset #39: Conduct a game with a group of youth. Ask your youth to make an organizer that has their future goals and how to achieve their goals.
