By Dr Bill Maier Looking for some creative ways to make your kids feel special? Here are some ideas to consider. Every year on your child’s birthday, write a letter telling them how much they mean to you. Mention specific ways that they bring joy and laughter into the world. Write about their gifts and talents, and how you believe that they have a bright future. Then keep all the letters in an album and present it to them on their 13th birthday. How about keeping a journal for each child? Write down those funny or bright things they say each day. Make sure you include long passages explaining how much you love them. Then pass the journal on to them when they leave for university or move out of the house. These are just two great ways to bless your children . And you’ll be giving them memories that they’ll treasure forever.

by Dr Bill Maier Just when you thought you had your house all to yourself, look who shows up on your doorstep! More than ever, empty-nesters are opening their homes to a returning son or daughter. They’re called “boomerang” kids, and they’re growing in record numbers. Some are coming home to save money for university , or to search for the perfect job. Others may be going through personal problems and need a safe refuge. Whatever the reason, before the move-in takes place, make sure you sit down and discuss the boundaries and expectations. And do it quickly, so you don’t have any misunderstandings. No matter what their age, if they’re living under your roof, they need to live according to your rules. If it’s a temporary situation, set a clear timetable for their stay. Help them all you can, but be careful you don’t become an enabler to kids who just don’t want to grow up.

Image via Wikipedia By Dr Bill Maier Mothers have an extraordinary influence over their sons' futures. If you could peek into the lives of most successful men, you'd find a mother who planted those seeds of success while he was just a boy. When he faced a tough task or problem, she was there to cheer him on, saying: "I know you can do it!" When he messed up, she'd tell him: "You'll do better next time." When he accomplished a goal, she was quick to remind him what a bright boy he was. Mothers who stand behind their sons and encourage them in every situation are doing more than building their self-image. They are laying the groundwork for a lifetime of success and accomplishment. Most importantly, they're teaching them to never give up, no matter how hard life gets.
