In his fourth book for children, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer focuses on the topic of excuses and how they can do more harm than we realize. The book demonstrates how excuses go far beyond "my dog ate my homework," and can actually become words that prevent your child from reaching his or her potential.The book follows a boy with a seemingly impossible dream who almost lets excuses ("I’m not smart enough" . . . "It’s too hard," and so on) get in his way.He discovers, as will your child, that by following a few simple ideas and eliminating excuses . . . anything is possible!
My goal is to help parents and caregivers understand how important it is to honor and support our kids efforts to try new thingseven if they fail! Life is not meant to be a neat and tidy experienceit is to be explored and used, trialed and triumphed. Too often, children and adults alike dont try new things, even things that interest them, because they are afraid they wont be good enough. Lets start encouraging our children, and ourselves, to step out of our comfort zones and seek new adventures. It is time that we applaud our failures for what they really aresymbols of the courage to try. With a little patience and persistence, who knows what adventures lie ahead?Your friend and fellow parent,Heather Hamilton
