Encouraging Our Children While They are Still Young..... A Joyful worker at 2, 3, 4, and still at 5 yrs old Today as I watched a home video with my children we watched one of my daughters, who is currently 5yrs old, as a 3-1/2 yr old little girl. She had requested to make lunch for her 7 siblings. Being a mother who likes to train her children young, I agreed to let her set out to accomplish her big task. Who was I to stomp on her big plans? It was so precious to watch her struggle with that BIG refrigerator door but she didn't give up on getting it open. She was amazingly successful in completing her task and stayed cheerful throughout the process. After our lunch we all thanked her for such the wonderful meal that she prepared for us. She was one proud little girl!!! I was proud Mama! Today that little girl of mine is still a big achiever and a hard worker! No task ever seems to big for her to tackle. The moral of this story is never view your children as being too young to do a task. If they are big thinkers believing that they can accomplish something that seems bigger than them, go ahead and cheer them on. Encourage them and be their loudest cheerleaders. In doing so you will watch your children grow and flourish right before your eyes as they become hard working achievers. What is the worst that can happen? You will find that everybody wins!!! You will never regret doing so!! Encourage and be encouraged!!!
