Parenting

Coach Thorsted

“Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.” – Fred Rogers

Be your best self. That will always be more than enough.

When I was a kid, a lot of things went right over my head. As an adult, I hit my head a lot… But I also have a much better understanding of things now.

Remember the past. Imagine the future. Live in the present.

Our lives move fast. Precious moments do not last. Dwelling in the past, this will only depress us. Live in this moment, and now in the next, for every moment we live is precious.

Positive thoughts and positive words are powerful things, and we are powerful beings… You have the power to think and to speak positive things into existence.

You don’t truly become an adult until you start making fun of the way teenagers behave.

Perfection is a matter of perspective.

To my son, Luke, the multiple patches of grass-free dirt in our lawn make for perfect tracks for his monster truck toys. And to think I almost reseeded those “imperfect” spots… Had I done so, I would have missed a perfect moment out there with him yesterday.

Sometimes, it’s best to just let an issue work itself out without your interference.

Sometimes the apple falls reeeaaallly far from the tree.
