New Video: The Importance of Being Adventurous with Your Child

Most of us don’t immediately think of being adventurous with our child as a good idea. It seems our child can be adventurous enough on his own.

In my new video Tip #5 I explain the importance of being more adventurous together and give you some tips on how to do it easily.

And, yes, being adventurous is an important part of parenting! Who knew?

What adventures have you taken with your child – whether a toddler or a teen? I’d love to hear about them in the Comments section.

Happy trails!

To your Joyous Family!

A Grandmother’s Delight #1

My grandson Sebastian is now 2 years 9 months old, and I want to share a fun story with you.

One of his great loves is ‘driving’ one of our pick-up trucks. As you can tell from the photo, his scrunched up face indicates the passion and sound effects he puts into it.

One of the things I love about Sebastian and pickup trucks is that for now he calls them ‘hiccup trucks.’ I want him to say it forever since it’s so amazingly cute.

A few weeks ago we’re hiking in Mendocino in the middle of the woods, I think I hear him make a real hiccup sound, and I ask him, “Did I hear a hiccup?”

He instantly stops, looks around carefully, and says, “I don’t see one.”

Cute with a capital C!!

I’ve had to capture his saying this amazing word because I know it won’t last long and he’ll soon be calling them by their proper name – pickup trucks –  so I recorded him saying it.

I’d drive around with him, looking for pickup trucks and trying to get him to say it on my recorder. I was minimally successful. When I didn’t have the recorder, he repeated the magic word numerous times. Recording – I had to work hard to drag it out of him.

Here is a 30-second recording in which he says both ‘hiccup truck’ and his way of saying ‘walkie-talkie.’ Click the link to listen. Enjoy!
