Being Part Of The Family Team

Many of you may have heard of Matt Furey. He's a highly sought after success coach, marketer, and internet guru. Matt was helping me with some ideas.

As we talked all kinds of ideas came up as to what to do to help kids. It's a tough world out there and kids can use all the help that they can get. If you're looking for some to the point daily inspirations for parents and kids I'm going to help you out.

Go to Matt Furey.com and sign up for Matt's daily psycho-cybernetics inspirations. These daily tips come from Matt's studies of the works of self-image pioneer Dr. Maxwell Maltz. Matt has purchased the rights to all of Maltz's works. It's very powerful material. If you haven't read Dr. Maltz's best selling work psycho-cybernetics you owe it to yourself to get a copy. 35 million copies have been sold and it's a must read for anyone wanting to learn powerful skills to help kids.

Here's my idea-

Sometimes young people have it a bit backwards. Moms and dads do their best to support their kids but it's also important for kids to know that they are responsible for certain things themselves. Young people need to pull their weight on the family team. This involves giving, not just taking, and being a contributing member of the family team. It's easy for kids to get into their own little comfort zone that makes them believe that everyone is there to cater to their needs. At times it's necessary to remind or even shock them back to reality.

In order for the family unit to function effectively each individual on the team must pull a certain amount of their own weight. All members of the house are responsible for certain household chores. Keeping the house clean, keeping one's room clean, taking dinner dishes to the sink, and helping others are all necessary ingredients in being part of a smoothly functioning family team.

The glue that makes all of these things work efficiently is the respect that members of the team have for each other. There is a genuine concern for all members of the team as well as a desire to do what is necessary to create peace and harmony in the family.

Living under the same roof is not an easy task. It is, however, possible and much more attainable when all members of the family are willing to pitch in and realize that it's important to give as well as to receive. Effort, respect, and attitude go a long way to creating a winning family team.

Here's to strong families,
