WHAT IF INSTEAD OF WORRYING ABOUT WHETHER WE SHOULD GIVE KIDS GOLD STARS FOR PARTICIPATION OR FOR WINNING, WE INVOLVED KIDS IN REAL WORLD ACTIVITIES WHERE THE END RESULTS OF THE ACTIVITY ITELF IS THE REWARD? TEACH THEM GARDENING, WOODWORKING, REPAIR SKILLS, FIBER ARTS, SEWING, COOKING. GET THEM OUT HIKING SOMEWHERE WITH A GORGEOUS VIEW. RAISE ANIMALS - HAVE THEM LEARN TO CARE ABOUT SOMETHING OTHER THAN THEMSELVES. HAVE THEM HELP OUT A GRANDPARENT OR ELDERLY NEIGHBOR. OUR SOCIETY HAS LOST SIGHT OF WHAT’S TRULY IMPORTANT IN LIFE. IT’S TIME TO FIND IT AGAIN. - Laurie Neverman, Common Sense Home
