Encouraging Children’s Interests — 4 Comments

  1. “… others need some help in figuring out exactly what they enjoy. Others have so many interests it’s hard to choose just one or two.”

    As a child I was definitely in the last group. My family was great at encouraging us to get involved and have lots of hobbies, but maybe I needed a person in my life who did what you do for your grandchildren, Linda.

    It’s only recently that I’ve figured out exactly what it is I really enjoy – at the moment it is drawing, illustrating and design. (I’m nearly 30 by the way – but I comfort myself that Jesus didn’t start his ministry until the same age!)

    In fact, my husband and I have recently published a children’s picture book that touches on this very subject, as it is something we both feel we have had experience of it growing up (psst! It’ll be free as a Kindle book from August 1st – http://www.talesofbassily.com/02-ewen-the-good)

    Thanks for your post – and keep being a great grandparent!

  2. This is a great post, Linda! It has been a very rainy summer here in Illinois. I am sure that many kids are looking for alternatives to the usual summer activities of swimming, bike riding, and playing ball. Your post reminds us that there are many interesting activities for kids to pursue!
