WW- Learning from Bob The Builder

Dominique Parenting Views Bob the Builder, Television, Theme Songs

Bob the Builder is one of the cartoons that the boys enjoy watching on TV. For those of you who have toddlers in your household I am sure that Bob and his friends maybe a common sight in your house.

I love the theme song and its positive affirmation – ” Can we do it- YES we can!!” It talks about being determine and seeing through what you have planned to do.

Very often our (and even us adults )give up even before trying as the task seems oh too difficult to be attempted. However with the right mentality and attitude any obstacle can be overcome.

Sometimes when the boys face difficulties I will remind them that Bob the builder was able to do it and so they should be able to do the same. It does work as a motivator for them as they would then make another attempt at the task at hand.

Are there any other cartoons/show which your teach positive affirmation to kids?

Today is the day that I turn 31. A year ago when I entered into my 30s it felt as if I have aged rapidly as the numbers change from “2” to “3”. This year however as the digits add on it feels much different to me.

I no longer feel that age is working as a disadvantage against me but is driving me to be more motivated and determined to see that I complete all projects and assignments that I have assigned to myself this year.

To really put my thoughts into action I will be listing down the projects which I have at hand

Teaching the boys Japanese- target is to get Ryan writing simple Japanese by the end of the year.
Getting Roy fully potty trained ( Daytime) by the time he is 3yrs old (December)
Completing and launching my book on “Multilingual Parenting”
Growing my Membership site- Savy Hip ParentPreneur
Completing all scheduled 1-1 projects with existing clients.
Improving my baking/cooking skills.
Improving my relationships with family, friends and clients.
