The Goldfish Guide to Raising Optimistic Kids
16 January 2010

Today I am going to stay away off my computer and enjoy my family. I’m going to play games (like Bananagrams
I was thinking about this Fishful Thinking video that I adore, and thought I’d share it with those of you who didn’t see it when I posted it originally back in April of last year.
And I’ll leave you with these great tips for raising optimistic kids from Fishful Thinking:
- Let them try new things…..even if they don’t always work out.
- Tell them to dream big….but to start small.
- Encourage them to learn from others….but to always be themselves.
- Make sure they do a little something every day….and a little nothing every day.
- Help them to notice what’s nice….and to deal with what’s not.
- Encourage them to look outside themselves….and inside themselves.

I had a day pretty much away from the computer yesterday. Today I hope to have another one. I am reading The Dive from Claussen's Pier for book club, and I did not read yesterday. MUST read today. I picked up Three Cups of Tea the other night at Borders and was not sure. I will have to keep an eye out for it. I hope you enjoy your day!
