As parents it’s important to encourage kids to do the things that will make them better people and live happier, more productive lives. If a child is interested in the world of medicine, for example, it makes sense to encourage that child to visit a local hospital, or talk to a doctor about the field. Any parent would want to encourage that sort of good behavior and forward thinking.

When it comes to performing arts such as acting or working in the theater world, it’s just as important to fully encourage a child to pursue their interest and help spurn their creativity. There is so much to enjoy about the theater experience, from learning to create sets, engage an audience with a great acting performance, and hone public speaking—all which can help to build a child’s confidence and give them a positive sense of self.

With that, the most important part of the theatre experience is the life lessons it can teach. The world of drama and acting is all about support and having the backing of your scene partner and producer. It’s also about adapting to situations around you and throwing yourself into it full force. These are things that can carry a child through the rest of their life.

So if your child is interested in the fine art of theater, encourage them by allowing them to see shows and read plays. This will further their appreciation. Let them build sets at home and allow them to be creative enough to envision the design from start to finish. Having them make kids costumes is another great way to foster their creativity, as it another facet of the theater process.

While the theater may not be right for every child, for those that show an early interest do whatever you can to encourage them to dream big and believe in themselves whether they stand behind the scenes or under the bright lights.

Players with skill and determination, as well as physical capabilities and endurance often win when playing these types of competitive sports.

A Christmas tree inside a home.

I love it when the different holidays come around because it’s a chance for me to decorate my house in a different way. I mean, I love the way it is decorated normally, but the chance to mix it up a little bit is something to look forward to.

Thanksgiving is a great time to use all my favorite fall colors—orange and brown streamers and my big turkey centerpiece make the house look ready for a big Thanksgiving dinner. We had turkeys on our napkins, and a turkey figurine sat by the door that did a wobble-gobble every time someone walked by! It was the funniest thing you have ever seen, and people were laughing about it all night long.

I had a great time decorating for Halloween this past season. We went with a ghost theme and we had ghosts of all shapes, sizes, and colors all over the place. I loved the little silver ghost lights that I found to line the fence. Of course, everyone in the family chose cool ghost Halloween costumes to go with the theme. All of the little trick or treaters really loved it!

Christmas is the next holiday season coming up, so I’ve been planning how I want to decorate the house. I could go completely over the top like some people do—there are so many decorations out there to choose from!—but I prefer to go for the classy, understated decorations. I tend to pick a color theme each year with just have one or two accent colors and a metallic color, too. Then I try to go with a theme of some sort, like reindeer or snowmen or something like that. It usually looks pretty great.
