Kids Sports

How many of you have children in sports? I love to watch my kiddos play sports. It doesn't mean they have to be great at that sport they are striving to do good at, it just means I hope they are having fun while attempting to do well. Right now we have 3 boys on 3 different football teams and a daughter playing Lacrosse. Going to the sporting events is a good family time to go and cheer the son/daughter/sibling on. I think the discipline of sports helps our boys to also stay on target with their studies. If they are having to juggle a schedule they are more likely to discipline themselves to study also. When our children are not playing sports it's easier for them to sit around and watch TV and get into bad habits. TV and video games. We have also started implementing an allowance for the first time. Our philosophy had been if you need anything mama and daddy will provide that for you. Well, I think we have made a change for the better. Giving them and allowance everyday depending on whether or not they have done their chores. This is their spending money for the weekend. This has been somewhat a little challenge because they have to do the chores before school. Any suggestions on this one would be great. Trying new things to help our children manage their money and be responsible is not always as easy as we would wish it to be. We all kind of get in a rut sometimes when it has to do with change. But being flexible and always changing and adapting seems to be the best philosophy we have raised our kids by. Being consistent, but willing to change and be there for the kids through it all has been great. Children are a blessing and I'm so thankful for our 4 beautiful kids. I pray Doug and I continue to be the parents God has called us to be. Be blessed this day and hug your kids today!
