Family Minute #49

Want a great way to teach your child self-control?

Then teach him to work. But you say "Life is tough enough on our kids, I don't want to make it any more difficult for them." Well, by not teaching your kids the value of work now, you may make things even more difficult for them later in life.

You see, children who know how to work find it easier to control their impulses, to stay focused until a job is completed, to understand the connection between effort and opportunity, and to learn to manage money.

So teach your child to work. . . they'll be glad you did.

Remember your family first.
