Don’t Make Me Spend More Money

Posted by Heather Manning On October - 27 - 2011

I’m just sayin’.

After I bought Jordan his costume, I found out the school assigns costumes.

Jordan got assigned Elvis.

I’m not bitter about having to go out and spend more money on another costume or anything.

They said to be creative AND current.

I think I did a good job with both of those requirements.

(Yes, I am a bit morbid.)

Water for Elephants Restyled Robert Pattinson Figure

Posted by Heather Manning On October - 27 - 2011

I believe everyone here knows that I’m a Robert Pattinson Freak.  Seriously.  Who else displays this on their car?

BTW – that’s a good way to have people taking pictures of your car while driving down the interstate, stopped at stop signs, etc.  Plus, when you’re my age with 4 kids in your car, it’s interesting to watch teen girls speed up beside your car, giggling excitedly, only to see a 36 year old woman driving…they drop back fast usually. :)

Who here has seen Water for Elephants ?  I have the DVD already.  Thank you so much to the God of movie reviews. It releases on November 1!

wfe-2All at once now, say it, you know you want to…. yummy!

Here’s the trailer in case you haven’t seen it

 

I am assuming everyone knows who Madame Tussauds is?  The wax figure displays?  Check out her latest:

A newly restyled wax figure of Robert Pattinson is now on display at Madame Tussauds Hollywood to celebrate the upcoming November 1 Blu-ray and DVD release of the 20th Century Fox major motion picture, Water for Elephants .

Are You Missing Clues about Your Child’s Self-esteem?

Posted by Heather Manning On October - 27 - 2011

With everything Jordan has been going through lately, I thought this was an important post to share with you guys.  I’ve been watching my son let Jordan other kids destroy his self esteem.  We have him getting help now.  Don’t let this happen to your kids and DEFINITELY DON’T let your kid take part in bullying.

Free Assessment Tool Helps Parents Uncover

What Their Kids Think About Themselves

Kids often drop clues about how they feel about themselves, but many parents miss them. Adventures in Wisdom announces a free assessment tool that parents can use to better understand how their kids feel about themselves.

Kids can either complete the assessment themselves or parents can go through it with them. With the assessment, kids rate themselves using a 1-10 scale on statements such as, "This world needs me." Or, "I often get down on myself." How kids rate themselves will help parents understand where their kids need additional support.

According to Renaye Thornborrow, founder and CEO of Adventures in Wisdom, "How kids feel about themselves is critical for their happiness and success in life. Kids with strong self-esteem tend to go for their goals and stand up to peer pressure whereas kids with lower self-esteem often drift through life and may be easily influenced by others. Parents can download the free tool, "Assessing Self-esteem," at the company’s website at http://bit.ly/u6hLmb.

In addition to the assessment, parents can look for these clues:

1.Observe how kids talk about themselves. If they put themselves down saying things like, "I’m stupid," or compare themselves unfavorably to others, "I’m a lousy hitter…David is better than me," then they are showing signs of negative self-esteem.

2.Observe how kids interact with others. Do they jump right in, assuming that others will like them, or do they shy away from meeting new people? Children who avoid new people and new experiences often struggle with self-esteem.

3. Look for the "grungies." Grungies are negative emotions such as sadness, fear, anxiety, or embarrassment. These feelings often stem from self-doubt and self-criticism, which are both signs of a child struggling with self-esteem.

Looking for these clues and listening to their children’s responses on the assessment will help parents identify areas where their children need support to develop the positive self-esteem needed to create happy fulfilling lives.

About Adventures in Wisdom -Based in Austin, Texas, Adventures in Wisdom is a breakthrough life coaching program for kids that uses short stories and activities to teach children ages 6-12 how to develop powerful self-esteem and self-confidence; achieve their goals; handle challenges such as fear, failure, and peer pressure; and create happy fulfilling lives.
