NEWS about THE ALERT PARENT

This weekend I will speaking to over 200 tweens, teens and mothers at a Girl Scout sponsored event.

To provide as many resources as possible for parents, I'm in the process of building an extensive on - line resource post. The guide includes links to parental controls, online safety guides, cell phone options and much, much more. If you are a parent of a tween or teen, you might find the information helpful.

I will continue to add information as it is found or reported by you. If you have a helpful site you'd like to share with me, let me know. I would love to include!

Shoot for the Moon

I love this quotation by motivational speaker, Les Brown: “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.”

I've used this quotation as a theme for presentations. As a matter of fact, I'll be doing so again this weekend at the Girl Scout sponsored Teens and Tweens Conference in Edmond, OK.

So this got me to thinking about other meaningful quotations and messages I've heard or read over the years. Here are a few good ones:


1. There are always things you can do to improve your life and your circumstances. Always.

2. Author Richard Carlson tells us: Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff…because it’s all small stuff.

3. Not everyone will like you.

4. Somebody will always be prettier and smarter than you.

5 The greatest gift you can give yourself is to discover your talents, gifts and strengths and then, polish them.

I'll end with another favorite by Shad Helmstetter. "It isn’t the big choices we make that have the greatest impact on our lives; it’s usually the smallest choices we make that affect us the most."
