The Best Gift You Can Give Your Loved Ones This Holiday Season Is- Your Time
Retail stores are beginning the Black Friday sales early this year as they open their doors on Thanksgiving evening. While many consumers will scurry through the aisles in search of sale items, it makes me wonder if our culture has lost touch with what’s truly valuable. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy shopping. However, I also realize that there’s a gift that no Black Friday or Cyber Monday sale can offer, and that is time. Lately, the gift of time seems to be rare in our “always on the go” culture.

Build Confidence In Your Children By Nurturing Their Passion
In my book, You’re One in Six Billion: A Confidence Building Guide for Teens (scheduled to be released Fall, 2011), I teach children that there is only one of them out of approximately six billion people in the world. If you take some time to reflect on that, it’s pretty mind blowing to know that there is no one else in this world like you. I use this message to teach children that each one of them has something special and unique to offer the world. The special something that your child has to offer the world, is his or her passion.

The Top 3 Ways To Help Your Child Have A Successful School Year

Taking a proactive approach to your child’s education means that you are not waiting until the report card conference to find out how your child is doing. You are actively involved throughout the school year, and you are actively inquiring about your child’s performance in the classroom.

Why Are So Many College Graduates Struggling To Find A Job?
According to a recent government study approximately 2.4 million college graduates are unemployed. Records show that this is the highest unemployment rate for people with a bachelors degree or higher since 1970. This is quite discouraging for many college graduates who are taught that the key to success & obtaining a good job depends on receiving a college education. I’m certainly not undermining the importance of a college degree & I would encourage any young person to pursue some form of higher education. However, I am suggesting that a college degree is NOT ENOUGH.
