Raising my kids is one of the best things I’ve ever done.
It’s exciting, fulfilling, and something I’ll never forget.
However, something I want my kids to be able to do is raise a little dreamer.
I want my children to grow up knowing that can do anything they can dream up.
Maybe their dream is moving to another country and help the less fortunate.
Here’s how we are raising little dreamers in our home.

Tips for Raising Little Dreamers
Letting them speak.
So often, children are told to be quiet and to not talk.
Not in our home.
Our kids are encouraged to talk and to speak their minds.
Children shouldn’t have to feel like they are less important than adults.
I’ve noticed my kids light up when I actually stop and listen to them speak.
Letting kids explore.
Another key to raising little dreamers is letting your kids explore.
Allowing your kids to be glued to electronics all of the time isn’t the answer.
Get your kids outside and let them explore.
Let them explore the backyard or take them to a park and let them explore.
Exploring is one of the most parts of allowing your child to become a little dreamer.
Let kids be kids.
So many times, we expect kids to act like adults.
Kids need time to be kids, which in return allows them to be little dreamers.
When we set unrealistic expectations for our kids, they don’t have time to think, dream, play and be a kid. Let your kid be a kid and watch them develop into a little dreamer.
Encourage them to be a little dreamer.
Of course the most effective way to allow your child to be a little dreamer is to encourage it.

Sounds like a really fun twitter party! I had lots of time to dream and explore as a child and try to do the same for mine.
This is pretty much my entire philosophy of what childhood should be like! Dream and explore, little ones!
This is a great contest. I’m going to share on facebook too. Dreaming big is what childhood is about.
I let my kids be kids and have fun. Nothing is worse than telling your kids what to do ALL the time! Let them explore and be little! They will be grown up soon enough. I am definitely participating in that Twitter party!! I want to win LOL!
