Prepare your kids for a new reality

Did you know India has more honors kids than the USA has kids?
Did you know the top 10 in-demand jobs in 2010 did not exist in 2004?

You need to watch this video to grasp the magnitude of the changes our children will face in their business (and social) life. Apparently it was shown to Sony management at their executive conference this year.

Two ways to look at this:
- you can worry, ignore or resist an inevitable world transformation
- or you can prepare your children for a new reality, see it as huge opportunities and embrace the change.

Not unlike the choices faced by many at the onset of the industrial revolution…

Wisdom pearls about children

Here are a few wisdom pearls about children that I have found here and there….

- The best way to keep your kids out of hot water is to put some dishes in it.

- If you don’t want your children to hear what you’re saying, pretend you’re speaking directly to them.

- Children are natural mimics. They act like their parents in spite of every attempt to teach them good manners.

- Your child has started growing up when he stops asking you where he came from and starts refusing to tell you where he’s going.

- Having one child makes you a parent; having two makes you a referee.

- A kid’s idea of a balanced diet is a hamburger in each hand.

- The best way to get your kids´ attention is just to sit down and look comfortable.

- Children go through four life stages with dads: 1) They call you da-da. 2) They call you daddy. 3) They call you dad. 4) They call you collect.

- You can learn many things from children… like how much patience you have.

- Summer vacation is a time when parents realize that teachers are grossly underpaid.

Guess which ones apply to our family…
