Message 1: Life is full of great opportunities

 

Do you ever look around and hear children whinging and complaining over what seems like minor issues?    Do you ever wonder how things got this way?

One of the most important life skills that we could pass onto our children is how to look for the good in life and appreciate it. This is why it is the first message in our 10 Strong Love messages.

 

 

This Strong Love message helps us parents try to steer clear of the powerful ‘Consumerism’ Trap which teaches our children (and us) that enough is never enough and so we never feel content with what we have.

 

Instead, this message – ‘life is full of great opportunities’ – says that despite any current difficulties we face, and the media’s preoccupation with the tragedy of this, if we’re living in an affluent country, where there is food to eat, clean water to drink and freedom from war, then compared with the majority of the world, life is offering us great richness.
