As many of you know, my book "The Barbarian's Guide to Success" talks about not only making more money, but it also talks about having a successful family. Part of a successful family, is having successful children. I was talking to a Phys. Ed. coach in a public school the other day. He was telling me some amazing things about the children he coaches. Apparently most of the children are in horrible shape. He was telling me that he has children twist their ankles when running on the track on a regular basis. Most have problems with any parenting class for divorce.

I heard a story on the news a few months ago that said the Army had to change its workout program in basic training because new recruits were getting stress fractures from the exercise. Now folks, all they do in calisthenics parenting class for divorce. Stress fractures from that!

When I was a child we had to run laps regularly. We played hard, and were embarrassed parenting class for divorce. If one of us had to go to the nurse from running on the track we would have never lived it down. My point is not that children should make fun of each other, but that many of our children are wimps.

I read an article a few years ago about how attitudes toward child rearing are changing. According to the article, fathers traditionally encouraged children to do things that were physical and mothers, traditionally, wanted to protect children from the potential harm that comes with such activity. I know this is not 100% true, as my mother encouraged me to play sports if I wanted to, but the article did say in general. According to the article, fathers are not encouraging their children as much. They are trying to protect the children more, much like what mother traditionally do. The result, kids that do parenting class for divorce complain at the mildest ache or pain. In short, out of shape wimps. I did not believe it, but it seems to be coming true.

Now I know that you don't want your child to be a wimp, so here are a few things to help get them in better parenting class for divorce:
1.Throw out the video games and turn the "boob tube" off. Too many kids are spending too much time in front of the TV.
2.Cook meals and keep tabs on what your child eats. I know it is hard sometimes, but if you don't keep track they will be eating nothing but honey buns and Ho-Ho's. BTW Boston Market's non-fried chicken is as bad or worse than other restaurants. Eating out should be a parenting class for divorce treat. Cook a meal and sit down as a family and eat. Your children will be healthier, both physically and mentally.

3. Along the lines of number 2, pack a lunch. School lunches are the worst and most children eat out of a vending machine at school. Take a few minutes and pack a lunch, its worth it. They'll do better in school and parenting class for divorce.

4.Teach your younger children to ride their bike and make your older parenting class for divorce. The older kids don't have to be sports stars, but make them play tennis or swim or SOMETHING.

5. Kick the kids out of parenting class for divorce. Make them go out and play. Too many children spend too much time indoors. Too much sun is harmful, but too little is as well, Savvy?!?

So make the kids get stronger.  Forget the video games. If they want to shoot something they can do it with cap guns. (Don't tell me about the teen shooting stories on the news. Every single one of my friends and I played with cap guns and none of us killed someone. The problem with those kids ain't toy guns, it is parenting class for divorce.
At the end of the day, make them move. They need it.
