Create a few scenarios throughout the day where your child can come to your rescue. Confidence building is only the first in a long list of great advantages to your child from the mere act of being empowered.

Whether it’s putt-putt, driving range practice or a full 18 holes on a real course, a tiny ball being hit with a tiny club into a tiny hole by a tiny person can be a lot of fun. It can also be fun for a medium, large or extra large person as well. Most people I know who play golf say that they are terrible at it but to your child you’ll look like some sort of expert. Golfing and teaching your child to hit a ball is an extremely bonding experience and can provoke lots of smiles even and especially when you’re terrible at it. Golf also has the advantage of being something you can do together at a safe distance from other folks even on a putt-putt course. Mini golf clubs and bags are completely unique and unexpected gifts worthy of birthdays, holidays or just as a surprise.

Saying my son likes to fish is like saying people like to breathe. We are fortunate enough to live in an area with in biking distance of two different lakes. He fishes at both of them practically everyday. Certainly fishing areas are not accessible or convenient for every family but once your child tries it they will be hooked. I personally feel bad for the fish but I lately I’ve been thinking that there are worse things to catch!
We have had long talks about being appreciative and gentle with the fish. It’s opened up a world of dialog about conservation, respecting nature and doing our part to save the planet.
Cooking up some fun with your kids is worthwhile even if you don’t know what you’re doing in the kitchen. Your kids have no idea that you’re not a MasterChef and if it tastes horrible you can always blame it on them. If you actually are a good cook then why haven’t you invited us over by now?
