RAISING A WORLD CHANGER
IS NO EASY TASK
As you guide your child with strong, healthy
values, keep in mind that being an intentional
parent produces a great outcome.
Have you heard of the principle of planting
and harvesting? Seeds in a garden will only
grow into a plentiful harvest if you water, care
for and protect them.
The same principles apply to raising kids.
What you put into raising, imparting and
guiding your child in the present, will harvest
a strong, forward-thinking world changer
later.
Apply these five keys to your child’s world…
and watch her grow.
1. STUDY YOUR CHILD
As the parent of a world-changer child, you
must start with a vision. What are your child’s
natural gifts? What are their interests?
by Christy Little Jones, M.S.
Sit down with each child in your household
and ask them what they believe their gifts are.
Find out how they want to use them to bring
change into the world?
2. HAVE A STRATEGIC PLAN
Now that you have identified a few of your
child’s gifts, talents and interests, put those
gifts into practice. Set goals and a purpose
with a desired outcome to keep the family on
track.
If your son loves animals, think of ways this
passion can make a difference. Depending on
the age of your child, volunteer at an animal
shelter or dog-sit for a friend.
If reading is your child’s interest, bring her to
read to seniors at a retirement community.
It’s a great way to serve happiness and impact
someone’s life for the better.
3. BE CONSISTENT
Consistency requires commitment and discipline. Consistency is the glue that holds your
child’s strategic plan together.
