Here's some stuff by one of my favorite Jews (second to Jesus Himself of course!)
Townhall.com::Excitement Deprives Children of Happiness::By Dennis Prager: " That is why the frequent complaint of 'I'm bored' is often a sign of a jaded child, i.e., a child addicted to excitement and therefore incapable of enjoying life when not being excited. All this excitement in their lives bodes poorly for the future happiness of millions of American children. Real life, let alone daily life, will seem so boring to them that they will not be able to enjoy it. And more than a few of them will opt for lives of constant excitement, often in ways destructive to themselves and others."
I miss listening to Dennis since the local radio station moved him to 11pm...he has a lot of wisdom to offer.
This holiday season makes me realize how spoiling our kids can actually HURT them! I like to think that Tim and I don't go "overboard" this time of year. We try to keep things in perspective and make it more about Jesus and less about all the "STUFF"!
