“There is no such thing as a child who hates to read, there are only children who have not found the right book.” —Frank Serafini ~ This is so, so true! I know many well intentioned parents who try so hard to get their kids to enjoy reading “classics” or “grade level books,” only to be met with resistance and rejection. We have to remember that many adults hate reading because they were coerced or forced as children to read books that they found to be unbearably boring. Don’t do the same thing to your kids! Instead, try cultivating their joy in reading by allowing them to pick what they want to read. Don’t worry so much about grade level or vocabulary. If they enjoy reading magazines, comics, or simple children’s books, let them! Once they slowly learn the joy of reading, and where books can take their imaginations and knowledge, they will love it for life. Then, they will be eager and willing to read many, many different types of books on their own! There’s something so peaceful, so majestic, yet so thrilling and terrifying as you watch the rushing water of a waterfall plummet down in front of you. ~ This striking natural wonder reminds me of our worldschooling journey. We have found a lot of peace in steering away from a rushed daily routine. Watching Bridgette learn through our travels have felt majestic much of the time. It’s absolutely thrilling to be going against the norm to do something different that aligns with our family’s values. But, because we are going through such uncharted territories, it can also feel terrifying at times. Just like the bottom of this waterfall though, we believe wholeheartedly that there will be a rainbow waiting for us at the end of this journey. We are in Quebec City this week! This Château behind us is the Fairmont Hotel, and probably one more the most recognizable landmarks here. But, did you know that it only took a little over a year to build this from the ground up, in the late 1800s? So amazing! . . . . . . . . #adventureswithchildren #traveladventures #TLPicks #LoveTheWorld #IAmATraveler #letsfollowthekids #visitquebec #explorequebec #huffposttravel #explorecanada #visitcanada #motherdaughtertime #motherdaughtertrip #motherdaughterbonding #chateau #quebeccity #traveltogether #travelcanada #worlderlust #worldschooling #passionfortravel #seekmoments #lovetotravel #jetsetters #traveltheglobe #travelkids #getoutandexplore #peoplewhoadventure Congratulations to my dear cousin @ceelinet on obtaining her Master’s Degree today. It has been so inspiring to witness not just your academic excellence and achievements, but your continued passion in serving others through missionary work. You have become an amazing role model to Bridgette. You challenge her at times, to get her to think creatively. You often treat her like a peer, and not just a child, encouraging her to always be curious enough to ask questions. You are never embarrassed to do crazy things with her, like doing the floss in public, climbing trees in your dresses, or water coloring in the rain. We love you so much and look forward to seeing how this next chapter of your life unfolds! ❤️ “There are no foreign lands. It is the traveler only who is foreign.” ~ Robert Louis Stevenson ~ The Institute of Contemporary Art offers this stunning view of the Boston Harbour, and it’s free admission on Thursdays after 5pm. ❤️ Once a unicorn girl, always a unicorn girl. What’s your spirit animal?
