11 Reasons to Think About Our Kids

• They’re getting smarter and faster and stronger than ever before. Impressive!
• Their communication skills are changing from directly verbal to wireless
• When is the last time you saw a ten year old eat? Where does it all go?
• Their competitive eye is showing up in 4 year olds. 5 year olds beware!
• Too many unhealthy foods to eat. Parents must balance their diet
• Not enough exercise. I get it, but our children’s health may suffer in their 20’s and 30’s.
• Divorce.  Parents must get along. If not, our children suffer which hurts us all.
• Too many activities. Perhaps it’s time to let them be kids and forego yet another sport or organization
• Social interaction with adults. It’s our job as parents to teach respect for all
• Okay, their future IS bright but it still ain’t easy growing up.
• One day, they’ll be taking care of us!
