Hard Work Reaps Rewards - Even for Kids
I was talking on the phone this evening with my sister who I was trying to sweet talk into driving the 150 miles that separate us for a Spring break visit. Anyway she said she would come with her family but was not telling her kids just yet.
You see she had put a challenge before them. Clean up their rooms and get a visit with me and my family. Now my neices and nephew love to come visit us. Mostly because they just love their older cousin (my son) and partly because they like their Aunt and Uncle and partly just because it’s something different.
Well the challenge worked. My neices and nephews have been hard at work cleaning their rooms even on a nice day (the weather here is remarkable for March). And so they will get a reward. Perhaps the bigger reward is becoming more self disaplined which will help them greatly in the years to come.
