The
Queen's Top 5 Tips For Better Parenting
- Read
to your children.
Take a few minutes and read to your kids. Encourage
their reading and set a great example by picking
up a book and reading it yourself. Open a world
of fantasy, mystery or history and watch them
light up. Show them how to improve themselves
and show them that you care.
- Spend
time with your kids.
Even if you have a full schedule, make sure
you allot some time, even if it is just a few
minutes, to be with your children. A bedtime
story is a great way to find this time and end
the day.
- Listen
to your children. How
many times have we "heard" our children and
responded by saying, "keep it down!"? Instead
of hearing our children, try listening. Even
if the conversation doesn't involve you, listen
to your kids, they might just surprise you.
- Be
involved with your children. Let
them know that you are not just the parent,
that you are also a friend. Kids lose their
parents when they do not feel like they can
confide in or trust them. Know their hobbies,
their teachers, and their friends. Be a parent
when you need to, but be a friend always!
- The
most important tip. Cherish the gift
of parenthood! You have been blessed with a
gift, your child or children! This blessing
should not be taken lightly. Remember each day
that you have the opportunity to help shape
the entire life of another person. Give this
the serious attention and commitment that it
deserves!
How
the Dream Dragon Can Help!
Parents
and teachers of today are faced with challenges
that were unthinkable not so long ago. The
news reports are filled with violence and suffering.
Shocking Talk Shows compete to see who can bring
to light the most disturbing social situations.
Not so long ago these types of reports and situations
were few and far between. They were also
problems faced by adults, however, today
they are increasingly effecting one of our most
valuable resources: our children.
Babies
are born addicted to drugs, little girls are becoming
mothers, children, who should be care free, are
committing suicide over failed relationships and
most recently, children are viciously killing
other children. With society accepting this new
"Talk Show" mentality, the innocence
of childhood is gone. It has become painfully
obvious that the children of today need a new
direction to become the adults of tomorrow. Children
of today need a hero. Not one that can vanquish
a foe from another world or one with 10 mechanical
arms. They also do not need so called "heroes"
that hit a home run one day and are arrested for
drug possession the next. They need a hero
that can help them face the challenges of today,
a hero to help protect them from the monsters
of today, a monster that may live just next door.
Dragon
Tales Publishing founder, Gerald Kostecka, is
the father of 3 beautiful children. They have
been his most significant inspiration to produce
children’s stories that can empower a youth.
It is very important to "teach" a child,
but it is also important to "empower"
them. To teach you instill knowledge, to empower
you instill confidence and self worth. In our
fast paced world we must slow down enough to ensure
that our children learn the lessons that will
both teach and empower them. Our stories use the
Dream Dragon character to entertain, educate and
empower children of all ages. In addition to all
the benefits to children, there are also great
benefits to parents and teachers. Both parents
and teachers can use all the help they can get
to teach the lessons that, unfortunately, are
needed to be learned in this day and age. The
Dream Dragon stories will help to teach those
much needed lessons and try to help give our children
a chance at a better tomorrow!
