5 Ways to Keep Your Child’s Brain Active This Summer
Did you know that your child could be experiencing summer learning loss? During school breaks, kids can lose as much as 30% of the academic progress that they made in the previous school year. After a long school year, many children prefer television and video games over reading and other forms of learning. Breaks and relaxation are important, but so is keeping their mind active. A lot of progress that was made during the previous school year can be lost in a couple of months. When planning learning activities, consider your child’s interests and introduce some new concepts in a variety of subject areas. Boredom never has to be an issue if you know where to look for learning opportunities. Your child may even find love for a certain subject area or an undiscovered talent. Avoid a summer setback by having your child:

0- 1 years
Developmental milestones are called skills such as taking a first move, laughing for the first time, and waving "bye-bye". Developmental milestones are stuff most kids should be able to do by some point. Children hit milestones in their playing, studying, communicating, behaving and running (like crawling, walking or jumping).

why didn' t they teach me that
You called that struggle, I call that teaching your kids how to hustle. Why didn’t they teach you that? I think most of our parents failed to teach us how to be a grown up, other methods to be successful without working a 9 to 5 job, how to keep a relationship healthy and so on…

Crippling Our Youth
I agree with this post for a variety of reasons. I'm sick of seeing parents encouraging their kids to dress and act like this at such a young age. They're not ready for that. They're too young to allow their emotions to be affected by likes, shares, reactions, etc. Social media has already caused a lot of mental health issues for thousands across the world, already from teens to college kids, to even some adults. Social media is great for staying connected, but its dangerous for anyone who is using it for purely for an emotional addiction.

Life is too short...
It’s strange when you sit and accept that life is just a bunch of days strung together. Created and maintained by memories, and little things that turn into the big moments, that you have the power to create. That is the thing about life, it’s a gift, and is so fragile, precious and unpredictable.

No Training Wheels
Today the training wheels comes off my bike & my big brother wheel take them off because the screws are too tight. As he starts wrenching away he had some things to say. Rule one learn your balance & you may fall but keep trying til you get it. Rule two you supposed to have a helmet but you don’t have one so that mean be careful and ride with sense. Rule three don’t cross the street because you not old enough plus it’s your first day without training wheels. After that his rules was tacit & he took off like he had something better to do. So there I was with my bike without no training wheels, “let’s ride”. I was practicing & gaining experience for about 45 minutes on my dead end street. Later their was two bother who was more like teenagers on their bikes as well. They where much more experience then me they rode them bikes like experts I even watch & learned small details I used as visual tips. I even tried to ride along them as they cross the street back & forth, but I will stop every time I got to the street. The fun got normal for me to ride along them & stop at street as they rode straight thru the stop sign every time. It got so normal that the little brother was following his big brother so much on them bikes over & over again. “I think they forgot a rule”. The little brother was hit by a car as his big brother across the streets after leading the joy ride the whole time. I was stunned my first day without training wheels, I was looking on as this young man breathe was leaving his body from impact of the car accident. He die right there as I stood at the stop sign looking at his brother crying knowing he got to tell his mother the news. My brother runs up behind me sad but happy it wasn’t me but I told him I listened to rule three. He hugged me & we walked the bicycle back home as the rescue & ambulance was pulling up. My first day with no training wheels was a life experience. Tell yourself what you learned from this and relate it to your life or situation & don’t forget your first day without your training wheels.
