Parenting Advice in 100 Words

12/26/2012

Back in the fall I was contacted by author Charlie Plunkett asking if I would be interested in writing a small piece for her parenting book set for publication around Christmas. Charlie was introduced to me via another friend, Vivien Sabel, author of The Blossom Method. I contributed to Viv's book by writing the Foreward and I was honored to be asked by Charlie to contribute to her book as well. 

How hard could this be? Write a 100 word {exactly} parenting anecdote of my choosing. Charlie suggested that I do it on teens since I had just written a blog post about my son {who is 17}. OK. Sure, no problem. I love to write {and talk} so I sat down to begin by 100 word entry.

Hmm. This wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. How do I develop an idea, stay on topic and keep it within 100 words? 

Truth be told, after my initial attempt, I tabled it for a few days.  Life quickly took over with it's unexpected twists and turns and so I didn't get back to it as soon as I would have liked.  Turns out that this was a blessing in disguise because when I sat down the second time the words just flowed.

I'm pleased with what I contributed because it not only meets the requirements for Charlie's book but it speaks of my communication roots {it also challenged me which I am thankful for}.  Often times, parenting isn't about the words we say but what we do. How we are present in our parenting.

I hope you enjoy not only what I have written in Charlie's book '100 Little Words on Parenting' but also what the other contributors have written. It is full of wonderful perspectives from a wide range of individuals. You will laugh, cry, nod your head in agreement and enjoy each and every moment. 



I am honored to have been a part of this little gem. Thank you Charlie Plunkett!


As always, thanks for reading. 


Until next time...keep helping your children BLOOM.
