Family Game Night -- why is it important? Read this and then go play with your kids!
"Your children love you. They want to play with you. How long do you think that lasts? Soon Jack may not even want you to come to his games. We have a few special years with our children...when they're the ones that want us around. Then you'll be running after them for a bit of attention. It's so fast. It's a few years, then it's over."
--This is a quote from the movie "Hook". Wife Moira is trying to knock some sense into Peter, who has forgotton to be a Dad.

Why Hands On? (I don't know the author, but I live this little poem!)
I TRIED TO TEACH MY CHILD WITH BOOKS;
HE GAVE ME ONLY PUZZLED LOOKS.
I TRIED TO TEACH MY CHILD WITH WORDS;
THEY PASSED HIM BY OFTEN UNHEARD.
DESPAIRINGLY, I TURNED ASIDE;
"HOW SHALL I TEACH THIS CHILD," I CRIED?
INTO MY HAND HE PUT THE KEY,
"COME," HE SAID, "PLAY WITH ME."

Kids should not have TV in their bedrooms!
My 7 year old son occasionally comes home from a play date announcing that so-and-so has a TV in their room. Every time he asks when he can have a TV in his room. I tell him it's not going to happen. Of course, he thinks I'm the most unfair mom on the planet at that point.
When did this ridiculous trend of TVs (and computers, for that matter)in kid's bedrooms begin?? It takes away from family time, creative thinking, pretend play (like playing outside) and contributes to kids thinking that they are entitled to this luxury.
Our TV is and will always be in the family room. We have another TV in our bedroom as parents. Some will argue that the family doesn't argue over TV shows when everyone has their own TV. Well, sometimes you don't get what you want (not only kids are the ones that need this lesson)! Some will say their kids only watch educational programs or a pre-determined amount of TV. If older kids are hording the TV time, then the older kids need to learn how to share. These are just a few of the explanations I've heard when parents are rationalizing a TV in a child's room.
TV is out of control as it is. Less is better.
Would you be ok with a TV in your child's bedroom?
Yes -- it's harmless
No -- it's insane
What's in it for me? Confidence and a NEW compensation $$ plan!
The perks are so much more than the $$ (and now there are more $$)
I chose to become an Educational Consultant at first to earn a little extra money and I knew my kids could benefit from the great toys as well! I quickly found many other reasons to stick with it! The Rocket Start program for new Consultants is so easy and I earned back my $99 kit in 2 months time with only 4 hostess parties/demos! So, basically, I started my business for free! Building my business only 4-6 hours per week gets me out of the house and meeting so many new families that aren't within a stone's throw of my own home! I've made new friends, met interesting people, am out in the community, have a great toy reserve for "rainy days" and "I'm bored" moments and, to top it all off, I make extra money as well. Making money was the initial reason, but the people are why I continue to build my business! Stuck on an Escalator!
Sometimes when you are stuck in life, it just takes a few simple steps to get moving again!
