Had a great lunch with Natalie.  She is so cute and so fun to be with.  I wasn't really ready to sell her the product but she actually asked for it.  So, she ended up getting the product from me via my membership just to try it out.  Start driving this YW named Liza.  I just love her from head to toe! She is so talented in so many ways - talented ballerina, excel academically, love science and fascinated with the human body.  Super discipline and already have a goal in life and plans for how she is going to achieve that path.  She is definitely a dream child for all parents.

I suddenly realized that I have done wrong in many way while raising my children. We used to ground our kids from activities when they do not perform well at school.  I can see parties, TV time and play day being removed form the list, but definitely not healthy activities such as sports, and instrument practices.  Grounding will discourage learning!

This is what I can do as a parent after talking and reading from successful kids:
1) Help the child know their passion when they are young.  (Nothing illegal and harmful of course)
2) Enroll them to school occupy their time so they can learn about that subject. (Be it an instrument, sport, art classes, or programs for making inventions etc.  Kids will learn to perfect their skills through practices)
3) Be persistent and encouraging about the subject they share.
4) Be patient with the time and effort we put as a parents. (It can be nerve racking when we feel we don't have enough time to run their schedule.  Kids will learn to manage their schedule and prioritize their time accordingly as they get older.  I have seen many accomplished kids see visions, want to be the best and very ambitious about their future!)
5) Allow them to play, practice, and work without interruption. (They will developed the needed focusing skills for future)

Both Evan and Jeannie are so much older now, I guess Jady is our last hope?! :)
