I recently read the book Do Hard Things by Alex and Brett Harris. It was very motivating and made me re-evaluate my mindset and the activities that I was focusing on.
Do Hard Things challenges teens across the globe to rise above what is considered the norm in today’s world. It shows how the teenage years are the “launching pad” for the rest of your life and gives ideas on how to start. Do Hard Things also shares examples and stories of other “revolutionary” teenagers who are trying to make a difference in their world and impacting others for Jesus.
Overall Do Hard Things was well written, fun, humorous, and very thought-provoking. I would recommend it to anyone as a book that will challenge them to be what God made them to be.
The Reading Game caught my attention after seeing an online post. I then contacted the company to inquire about reviewing it as I would be hosting a reading workshop at our state homeschool conference in the spring. I received The Reading Game and an extra one to give away at the workshop. I have 3 children that I tried it with that are at differing stages of their reading journey. One is an older child that I like to review with, one a beginner reader and one newbie. First, I will explain exactly what The Reading Game is and how to use it. Second, I will tell you how we used the tool and what I thought of it from a parent’s perspective. Third, I will give you my children’s observations of it.
