Nurture, Coach, Inspire
When it comes to school, you need to be involved. You need to be in the know and you need to be the backpack hound. When your children enter school age, your job is truly beginning. Yes those first 5 years are vital as you nurture your wee one. You have set the foundation, now the building blocks are ready to go on top. School teachers are just that, teachers. And it takes more than one to guide them through the next 12+ years.
Children do not lack capacity to learn but they do lack enough teachers.
To supplement my child’s education with my own knowledge and resources. Think of it as frosting on a cake, the final touch that pulls the creation together.
We were in a dream land at his school. In grade 1 the curriculum already integrated a second language to learn.
The first time I sat in a classroom of 35 kids in grade 2, was the first time I realized not all schools are created equal.
The Pygmalion Effect was a study done by Rosenthal and Jacobsen in the 60’s which shows that teacher expectations influence student performance. Positive expectations influence performance positively, and negative expectations influence performance negatively. Quite simple really. And it actually works.
So when Nicholas’ Grade 2 teacher told me that it didn’t matter that the students were at polar opposites because no child would be left behind, so don’t worry, don’t worry.
Gifted? What does that mean?
My instinct was dead on. But the insight needed work and needed some thought behind it in order to reach a successful outcome.
So get involved, volunteer, volunteer at school, speak up when you have concerns in a gracious manner but don’t take no for an answer until you have a viable solution. And do it often, it just may change your life as a result. The opportunities for your child are endless.
Today’s inspirational quote is from Einstein;
“Weakness of Attitude, Becomes Weakness of Character”

There's Magic in Sand
Even if it meant borrowing a tent that would fit all 7 of us as we drove 8 hours to warm waters edge all while hoping that the bears we fed along the way wouldn’t follow us.
There’s something magical about sand. It can be in your backyard, school yard, lake or by the ocean and it has no limitations on entertainment value. Add a little water and voila, you can shape it. Add a little seaweed and you can make a mermaid come to life with beautiful flowing hair. Add a few more people and all of a sudden you are making a ginormous turtle or magical castle with globby trees, all made out of sand. The really cool part is that our magical creations became a tradition. We could hardly wait to get to the beach and dig in.
Children are amazing and so awe inspiring. They drink in their surroundings and the wonder of nature. Exploring and discovering the world around them.
The secret to staying young is to have this perfect cover for acting like a kid again and no ones the wiser. An amazing thing happens to you and your imagination. Or at least all of these things did for me, it was reignited.
You will glow with pride not to mention all those excellent ‘selfie’ opportunities. You can take all the pictures you want at the beach and leave only footprints behind. We let our technology serve us and not let it invade our precious beach time. After all, the only surfing you should do at the beach is on the waves.

We are all born with a gift;
We are all born with purpose.

As purpose changes within.
Great minds have purpose; Little minds have wishes. Washington Irvine. I like that quote.
Thank you Nicholas, for the music for the show, absolutely adore it.
Well my friends, Live Well, thanks for listening.

Hindsight is the ability to understand an event or situation only after its happened.
The ability to understand, to understand, I think that’s key. It’s only effective if you actually digest what you have learned and realize that hindsight can be very powerful for our future endeavours. When my baby Genius was evolving, before he was even one year old, he showed strong development, which to be honest at the time, I didn’t realize. He never crawled. Just went from the carrier one day to walking one day; or so it feels that way.
My child is not an inconvenience. Your child is not an inconvenience. No child is an inconvenience. Pay attention and they will amaze you. Know that nurturing and caring for your child is always the right thing to do. Being a devoted parent is an admirable characteristic that children get inspired by. It means that you are dedicated to their well being, wholeheartedly.
Together we will reach the global community, around the world, with a common interest in Nurturing, Coaching and Inspiring the children we love, at any age, to develop their Genius and to let it Flourish
The Dalai Lama says “The enemy is a very good teacher.” That’s hindsight.

Before my baby genius was even born. That’s when I first discovered my Intuition. I had no idea that super power was in me, is in all of us, and we just have to listen.
I was on an emotional roller coaster when I was pregnant. Mother’s intuition is your natural instinct to know whatever it takes. Be Resolute. Whatever it takes.
I raised a very gifted child and feel so fortunate I listened to my intuition that day. That I continue to listen to my intuition, my spidey senses. But I also listen to him and his needs.
