Week 1
There are plenty of books, conferences, shows (both radio
and television), and lesson plans out there for men and women who aspire to be
great parents. They can have different
aspects, advice, agendas, and outcomes, but one thing they have in common is quality
time with the child. The Adventures of
Bubba and Sissy is going to run with that commonality.
Week One is for story time.
This week, pick out seven different books and set aside time to read one
each day. Devote yourself to this
time. Turn off your phone, computer, and
television and simply read. Don’t let
the words of the book fall flat from your lips; discover each page, critique
the pictures, and let your child express themselves through their imaginations.
When you’re finished reading the book, let the real
adventure begin. Run to the living room
and play out the roles of the characters in your chosen book. Let your child dictate the outcome of the
real adventure. Interact with their
imagination and let your own imagination join their world. Leave behind skepticism and realistic
outcomes and delve into the world of your child’s imagination. Transport yourself back to childhood and
become your child’s best friend.
I assure you that quality time in reality will transcend into
your child’s dreams. You already are
their hero, so it’s time to become their super-hero. Remember, a child is constantly analyzing the
world’s input and making decisions that you may never know about. Become the beacon of positive light to their
souls.
This week, read…let life become an adventure…starting today.
