My Take On This

As a father of two girls I have to say that I completely support this cause and this organization. While the website itself is still developing the ideals behind the site itself are great and need to be addressed. I know that I for one have been sharing the online pledge with other fathers that I know of that have daughters as this organization does a ton and the potential for this organization is endless!

I have heard the stories of many women over the years that I would consider to be brave, I cannot say that I have known anyone personally that has been abused in this way, but I know that it occurs and that it needs to stop! The women that escape from this, in my opinion, are very brave, as they set themselves out to an unknown future, but they know that they deserve better, and they do!

I know that I want my own girls to be able to grow up and be brave, to stand up for themselves and to never allow anyone take control over them. I can only hope that I am up to the task to help them to learn these skills as they get older!

I highly encourage you to go to the Brave Woman website and take the pledge to support this cause, it is definitely worth it and you will be taking a stand for something important and meaningful!

Summer brings with it warm, long days loaded with free time for your child. Inevitably, there will be moments when your child gets bored and can’t find a friend to play with. These moments can be challenging for parents, who may feel tempted to fix their child’s boredom. But these challenges offer an opportunity to encourage your child to play independently, which will teach your child to entertain himself or herself all summer long.

The Right Toys

There are many toys out there that can help a child play and learn more independently. Puzzles and puzzle games offer hours of independent play while also teaching problem-solving skills. Stacking toys, such as building blocks, or assembly toys are also hugely popular and can help introduce your child to a world of independent fun.

Independent Reading

Probably the most classic form of independent entertainment comes from books. Books introduce children to new places, people and ideas that may have eluded them until now. If your child has a lot of free time this summer, take him or her to the library to discover new authors. The right book makes all the difference, and summer is the perfect time to start branching out into new genres.

Arts and Crafts

Children can have hours of fun on their own with art supplies like wood craft sticks, which may already be lying around the house. AmazingMoms.com is loaded with summer art projects that are perfect for those days when your child is frustrated and feeling bored. Some may require a trip to the art supply store, but all of them will bring a smile to your child’s face as he or she completes them.

This summer, encourage your child to pursue activities that will help him or her manage boredom through independent play and learning. Doing this will help free up your time for other important things and will arm your child with the tools to feel entertained and happy all summer long.
