Hey Mom! Spring Is Time To Learn A New Skill

You do a great job of helping your kids develop and learn new things - but what about you? When was the last time you learned a new skill? It’s easy to overlook your own need for challenge, learning, and yes, fun.

It takes about ten minutes a day to develop a new skill. Just add it up. Ten minutes a day, times let's say 300 days a year, that's enough to be pretty good at something.

Learning a new skill is fun for you and sets a great example for your kids. Take a pottery class at your local community college, learn to rollerblade, try your hand at knitting, piano, guitar or jazz music – it doesn’t matter what it is, just give it a shot. If you don’t like it, fine. You don’t have to do it again, congratulate yourself for daring to try. If you find you do like it, though, you can keep at it and perhaps develop it into a hobby or favorite pastime.

Take the plunge! Learn something new.
