@Thrively FINDS Your Kid(s) Passion and Strengths – #DadChat #Giveaways #Back2School

Posted on August 4, 2014 by Bruce Sallan

What parent hasn’t struggled trying to help their kid(s) find their strengths, their passion? What parent doesn’t worry when their kid(s) are going through life without direction, playing video games, watching tv, and complaining about being bored? It happened to me. I finally “got lucky” when my boys did find their passions. It sure would have been easier had I had Thrively.com. We have “Teach” aka Angela Maiers with us for a Back2School night at #DadChat this Thursday August 7, from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. PT/9:00 – 10:00 p.m. ET. The topic is what MATTERS to our kids and how Thrively may be THE TOOL to help guide us to find their passion and strengths.

No One Is More Vicious than…

Any parent of a teenager(s) knows the rest of this title…Our Kids. If there is karma in the world, I’m getting payback for the jerk I was (I’d use a stronger word if this were not a PG-rated column) to my parents for so many years. And, for all the incredible angst and sleepless nights I likely caused them. They only had me so I’m getting double since I have two boys, now 17 and 20. Payback is a b****.

Is it Okay to Help Your Kids with their School-Work?

Posted on July 30, 2014 by Bruce Sallan

Nowadays, there are projects given our elementary-age and older children that seem a bit big and over-whelming – to mom and dad, that is. Seriously, some of these projects are difficult and in many communities it seems the quality of these completed works are way beyond the capability of the kid that “did it.” Clearly, dad and mom are helping.

Sunrise at the Equator

I did a simple time-lapse short video of sunrise – at sea, at the equator. Beautiful. Somewhere off the East Coast of Africa

It’s no joke. There is identity theft and all kinds of shenanigans going on with the Internet. Yet, how many parents are really aware of what their kids do online?

We have special guest DJ Thistle as our co-host this chat.

The Once-and-Still Married vs. The Divorced

Posted on July 27, 2014 by Bruce Sallan

I was jogging around our nearby lake when I saw two women walking. As I passed them, I recognized one as a former friend of mine. Our eyes met but she quickly averted them. I realized who it was by the time I was way past them. It brought back many memories of what I call The Dark Days of (My) Divorce.
