Forget Tiger Woods. Childhood is a preparation, not a performance. Resist the pressure from coaches and the media to push your child to excel too early. Give him time to grow.
Be skeptical about expert advice. It seems there’s a new study out almost weekly about the importance of early stimulation. But showing your toddler flashcards isn’t a ticket to Harvard. Use common sense.
Make family time a priority. Our children are with us for just a short time before they head out into their own lives. Enjoy your kids. If your family is too busy to hang out together, then leave some empty spaces in the calendar. Unscheduled time teaches children to create, imagine and see new possibilities.
