I am so excited! This week we are talking about philanthropy in school. I have always encouraged my students (and everyone else) to give beyond themselves, to find their purpose and to set standards for accomplishing their purpose driven goals. So yesterday, one of my students came in and told me all about his plans to start an organization that would encourage kids to be themselves no matter who they are. To be comfortable and safe and free from bullying no matter how they express themselves as an individual. He was going to sell his video games to raise money and buy rubber bracelets to promote his cause! What an awesome kid!!
My point in all this is that kids have big huge amazing ideas, some have small brilliant ideas, either way, encourage them! When a kid comes to you with an idea, don’t say “oh that will never work” or dismiss them as too young to be relevant. Amazing kids all over the world are starting charities, inventing new things, revolutionizing products and even solving paradoxical questions! So today, encourage a kid, just tell them to “make it happen kid,” stand back and watch them be amazing and Live Inspired Now!

Eat food the way it is born… fresh! Choose foods from the garden or at least the produce section from the grocery store instead of the canned section. Food is healthier in it’s natural state, still fresh and unprocessed. Fill your fridge with fresh whole food choices for your family. Avoid making your fridge a morgue by loading it with meat and processed foods. Eat healthier, eat fresh and Live Inspired Now!

OK folks… now is your chance to look away because it is about to get very real! 😉 So let’s talk about sex… with the kids! I believe in talking open and honestly with kids about sex and intimacy. They need to know and they need to know whats accurate, not what they hear on the school bus. I am always astounded when I hear older teens telling me what they think they know about sexual relations… including “You can’t get pregnant if you go to the bathroom after” or “If I don’t have sex then I won’t get a boyfriend… all boys have to have sex, that is just how it is.” OMG…. REALLY??? Who is talking to these kids? Please talk to your children, start when they are young. Tell them how everything works, tell them what your moral value is on the subject. I also tell my children (because NOBODY says this and it is important) that masturbation is natural and normal! I personally don’t think children should be having sex, I don’t feel that they are emotionally or physically ready to handle it. Some kids are so desperate to feel love and connection that they have sex and when the relationship ends, they feel hopeless, they know they have lost an experience that they should have waited to share. The guidelines that I tell my kids are, you must be in a long term healthy committed relationship with one partner and be out of high school. Until then, I encourage them to “take care of their own needs” because I realize that they still have raging hormones and lots of sexual desires. When they are able to take care of their own needs they never have to worry about disease or pregnancy or the emotional pain associated with growing up too fast. Also… when speaking with kids about sex, use the proper words. Studies show that kids who are confident and knowledgeable about sex and their own bodies are less likely to be molested or abused because they know what is appropriate and not. Protect kids with knowledge about sex, help them make healthy choices, don’t act like its something embarrassing to talk about so they will feel comfortable coming to you and set the moral guidelines for what you feel is acceptable. So today…. talk about sex with your kids (if you don’t, the wrong person might) and Live Inspired Now!
