"I'm looking for fun and adventure! I'm looking for more!!!" As children develop on a neurotypical pathway, they begin to look for activities to be more elaborate and exciting. The same old games become boring - it's time for adventures and more challenges. This becomes especially true as a baby transforms from an infant to a toddler. As parents, we naturally begin to add these challenges as our children begin to show readiness. My son continues to enjoy the exciting new things of life, but one monotonous thing he loves is his grandma! You love your grandma! We took a vacation to Florida, and had a ball! It became extremely evident to me that you know what you want! You were attached to grandma like glue. You'd be playing nicely on the living room floor, and if grandma entered the room you'd scream and go crawling over to her (screaming the entire way). Once you were in her arms, there was no putting you down! When we returned home from Florida, you didn't see her for nearly 3 days (eternity to you). When you saw her again, you did the same screaming approach that you did earlier - but held on even tighter! When you were sitting in your chair eating,...more
Let's say you ask your child to do a simple task like feed the dog.

If you've fully committed yourself to real estate investing, your natural inclination will be to share your love of real estate with your children. This is a worthy goal, but there's a right way and a wrong way of doing it. Follow my roadmap for entrepreneurship and your children will be poised for success, regardless of what they decide to do with their lives.The first thing you need to keep in mind is that your children aren't necessarily just younger versions of you. They will have their own wants and needs, but they will also naturally be curious about exactly what it is that you do. There's nothing wrong with exposing them to the world of real estate investing. As a matter of fact, exposure to real estate investing principles may help them to define very early in their lives what it is that they want to do for a living. It can also serve a much larger purpose: It will give you lots of one-on-one time with your children and provide teachable moments; times that your children will look back on even decades later with warmth and fondness. And believe me when I say this: You'll get even more out of it! It's important as you do this that you make this...more
