SOAR YOUR CHILD From 2 Yrs. Old!

I believe that kids are never too young to start learning! 

Don't wait until they get to kindergarten to let the teachers teach them to read!  I'm sure you wouldn't do that!  But you don't even have to wait till they're 4, or even 3. 

I started teaching my daughter at the ripe old age of 2 and she is a very avid reader!  She has an insatiable appetite for learning and reading! 

She was only 2 yrs. old when I took her to the mall and she looked up at the letters on the SEARS store and began yelling out the letters to me.   A woman passing buy was absolutely flabbergasted  at seeing this tiny little 2 yr. old so smart!  She also writes a blog and has written many articles for online magazines. 

I believe our kids learn better the younger they are!  I believe they can take in much more at a much younger age than most of us give them credit for. 

TRY IT!   Don't procrastinate!   You could be wasting a lot of precious, valuable time with your child and you might be very surprised at the outcome!

Start working on that genius child!

BE A PROUD MOM!

When my son is in college he was working for a nationwide bank - and also had his own column writing for a car magazine!  His writing was so "beautiful" that he would make people that could care less about cars take notice!

He and my daughter are both very talented and gifted writers!   For this reason,   I was both shocked and also impressed when my son told me that he wanted me to help him with his vocabulary, (as I had done when he was very young)!

Even though he is working daily on his education and held a good job with the bank, he still saw the need to continue to improve himself!   He said . . . 

"I want to sound smarter!"   

I was elated over this!

I developed a plan with him where I would send him 2-3 words daily via email and give him the definition and then he would have to write 2-3 variations of sentences for each word.   It was great FUN for both of us.  We laughed at the funny sentences and I was also very impressed with his very serious side of writing as well.

It was a delightful education for him and I enjoyed it immensely!

VERY IMPORTANT!  Even with his attending college and working in the most professional environment with other professionals coming in and offering him employment opportunities - he still knew the need to continue to improve himself (his image) - for his continued success!

Inner City 14 Yr. Old Lands First Job! Very Impressive Job Interview!

I started reading the dictionary voraciously at about 13 or 14 yrs. old. I went to apply for my very first job at 14 (a summer job for teens).

As a young, African American living in the Detroit inner city, I was already nervous and I was interviewed by a Yuppie Caucasian man.  To my sheer delight, I got the job - on the spot!  He could not believe that I was 14 yrs. old due to the level of maturity that I had shown which also included a advanced, above college level vocabulary.

I felt like a million bucks and recognized that my studying the dictionary made me (at my very young age) stand apart from anyone else that I knew - even much older than me.  Actually, I was quite often conversing with much older adults.

I'm not saying not to go to College, however, this is why I say that you do not have to have a college degree to make a very strong impression on anyone!

I'm much older now and I still do not have a degree, but everyone automatically presumes that I have a college degree, in something!   I've even been told that "surely you have a Master's degree!"   LOL!

WHY The AWESOME KIDS CLUB? OUR PURPOSE!

ALL kids are born special, individual, unique!   Every child should have the same opportunity for growth and success, but unfortunately so many do not.  

Our country’s future will most definitely depend in large on the leaders in control of our politics, economics, income, education, etc.,

Too many people have given up hope and/or simply don’t know how to fix our world! 

Too many children are not being given opportunity to learn (not even aware of the need for education for future protection). 

Over population, less education, technology, politics, world changes and political correctness  has changed our world!  

Our schools are producing less competent children every year.   We do not have the leaders that many of us grew up with.    Our lives, our children’s and grandchildren’s lives are left to the uncertainty of who knows what!   That is a very scary thought! 

We MUST education our children!   We MUST produce brighter, sharper, more educated leaders (we’re producing / growing leaders) who will grow and protect our nation, our offspring, our world.  It MUST START NOW!

It ALL starts with EDUCATION!   QUALITY EDUCATION!

Are You Making These Common Mistakes With Mispronounced Words?

Do you say "I want to "AX" you a question?" or "I want to "ASK" you a question"?

These are just 2 of the MOST mispronounced words spoken. They're said by doctors, lawyers, even college professors!

I often want to tell them "spell especially" for me", but, I don't dare do it!

I had one instructor - TEACHING A CLASS - and she was wonderful! She knew her stuff and she was the sweetest, most patient person in the world! However, literally about 20 times a day - she would say "pacifically".  She was meaning to say "specifically"!

I felt bad for her because she was an African American woman and there were mostly Caucasian - high level government employees in the room.

I truly contemplated for weeks about talking to her about this very sensitive subject, but as much as it hurt my ears, and as much as I cared for her and about how she was presenting herself, I just didn't have the heart or the nerve to do it!

To this day - when I think of her - all that I think about is "pacifically".

She left a lasting impression on me. Fortunately she had a much nicer, brighter, wonderful side to her personality as well. But even with this wonderful nature of hers - I truly thought of her speech as a desecration to the English language and hoped that she would one day get stronger and improve her speaking skills.

In the near future - I will post a page with more of the most commonly mispronounced words for you to review and consider practicing.

People Are Talking - ABOUT YOU! . . . What Most People Won’t Tell You!

Therefore, with love and the truest desire to help anyone interested in improving their image, it needs to be known that nothing sounds worse than someone using the WRONG word incorrectly!   Misuse of a word - no matter how small or simple makes one sound (with much thought put into this to avoid hurting feelings) many would say "stupid" or "unintelligent", "dense", "brainless", "dumb", "ridiculous", etc. and the list did go on and on and on! This is why I am doing this site! We don't know what we don't know!

Knowing the right word and using it properly are two entirely different things and also very important..

It’s what they call “The Elephant In The Room” syndrome (a problem or difficult issue that is very obvious, but is ignored for the convenience or comfort of those involved).

We’re talking two different scenarios here.

1). A person often will use a word that is so wrong that it is not even related to the topic of conversation!

2). A person may say a word and they may in fact have the right idea - but they say the word in the wrong way or use the wrong pronunciation of the word!

Either way sounds just as bad!

When this is done - some listener(s) will display a look of shock and horror - while others will pretend like they didn’t hear it - out of respect for the speaker.

Your more articulate speaking people will want to approach the speaker and point out the error that was made but usually won’t for fear of embarrassing the speaker or even worse, rejection.

You do have to be careful how you approach someone that you feel may not receive your unsolicited advice well. I personally would like to think that one would appreciate this very important and caring information because you are helping to them “save face” and keep them from further embarrassment. However, there are those that just don’t accept “constructive” criticism well at all and they will - unfortunately continue to look and sound foolish when they speak.

I hope that this site might be a way to help anyone that would like to improve their knowledge and their grammar. Believe me, it is not just the uneducated - or under educated people that have this problem. I’m amazed at the professionals that I have met that cannot speak or spell well at all. As someone said to me recently - “it makes you want to cringe!”
