Activity Village News - 16th March 2009

A Message From Lindsay

This newsletter is coming out a little late - or a little early, depending on which way you look at it! But given the fact that it is St Patrick's Day tomorrow and Mother's Day on Sunday and we have some great new activities for both, it seemed like the right thing to do. In particular I wanted to make sure that UK visitors had time to try out our latest Mother's Day / Gifts Kids Can Make crafts: we think that Sarah and the boys really excelled themselves with the silhouettes and "cameo brooches", which are sure to become some of Activity Village's favourite crafts.

Coming up soon:

17th March - St Patrick's Day
22nd March - Mother's Day (UK)
12th April - Easter
21st April - 500th anniversary of Henry VIII's accession to the throne
22nd April - Earth Day
23rd April - St George's Day

Something To Read..

Children Learn What They Live

by Denis Waitley

An ancient Chinese proverb tells us, "A child's life is like a piece of paper on which every passerby leaves a mark." We cannot teach our children self-esteem. We can only help them discover it within themselves by adding positive marks and strokes on their slates. All positive motivation is rooted in self-esteem – the development of which, just as with other skills takes practice. Think of self-esteem as a four-legged chair.

A Sense of Belonging: The first leg of self-esteem is a sense of belonging. We all have a deep-seated need to feel we're part of something larger than ourselves. This need, which psychologists call an affiliation drive, encompasses people, places and possessions. Our instinct for belonging – for being wanted, accepted, enjoyed, and loved by close ones – is extremely powerful. It explains the bond of an extended family, friends, and teammates. It also explains why some adolescents join gangs. They want to belong, even if it's wrong.
