6 Ways To Coach Your Child To Better Behavior

Posted on June 22, 2011 at 3:40pm 0 Comments

I'm not a perfect father.  Ha.  I know, "way to establish some credibility right out of the gates."  But I don't try to be perfect father because I never will be.  My goal as a father is not to be perfect but to teach my kids how to deal with life and make good decisions when I'm not around.  Life isn't always perfect.  However, I am a parent.  I brought people into this world and I have an obligation to teach them how to do the right things and make good decisions.  You have the same…

Coaching Butterflies

Posted on May 16, 2011 at 10:00am 0 Comments

Keep The Change.

Posted on January 21, 2011 at 12:00pm 2 Comments

I was running home from school one day, yes running. I would pretty much run home from school every day because I had a newspaper delivery route that I had to get done.  In selling some of my newspaper deliveries I promised some customers their newspaper would be delivered by a certain time.  I wasn't going to disappoint so I would run home ... rain, sleet, and snow.

 

Occasionally, I would ride my bike to and from school, when I had a bike.  There was a problem of…
