I’m interested to hear how you support and encourage creativity, entrepreneurship, and independence in your children.This article is written like a manual or guidebook. They’re kids, those fires may burn out, sometimes quickly, but that’s really just an opening for a new opportunity to take their place.
It’s time to find what lights them on fire, and stoke those passions into white hot flame. If I’m going to provide my kids a foundation and stability on which their future success grows, I’m going to have to be a facilitator and mental supporter, but not a crutch, or a long term monetary provider. The Millionaire Next Door outlines some causes for those fears, and ways to overcome them.
One thing is for sure, I don’t want to raise kids in constant fear of their economic situation. Between the two media, I have a new drive to stoke the creative fires in my children, and be supportive, but watch them grow, and fail, and eventually succeed at becoming self sufficient human beings, possibly even forming an income from something they love along the way.

Instead of getting out of bed, eating a decent breakfast, showering, getting into a hobby, getting some exercise, or doing something creative, they stay in bed, hide in their room, shout about not wanting to do basic things, get aggressive in response to suggestions, and sometimes slip into depression. Sometimes though, they show independence as an attitude, without the actions needed to sustain a healthy existence.
Sometimes the kids show independence through their actions, their abilities to be self sufficient and control their own day. This has resulted in them showing some independence, but it’s not always the kind of independence that you want them to display. We don’t have all day every day to work with our children. I’ve been reading The Millionaire Next Door and while all of the information has been interesting and educational, the above quote smacked me across the cheek and shouted “wake up!” It’s easy to imagine why this quote would hit home for someone with 5 children, but that doesn’t make it any less prolific.
