 Have you tried Pinterest yet? I know, another social media tool to overwhelm you and waste your time, right? Well this one is different because it allows you to post images on a virtual board to share with others. Putting a pin button on your browser, you can capture interesting images that you find while surfing the Web. You can then add text to further define what you’ve pinned and why. But you can pin up more than just images on the Web, Pinterest allows you to pin videos as well. And what about those great pictures you have on your smart phone or hidden away on your Facebook page that you’d like to display and share. I guess it’s sort of like a virtual photo album but more. I’m already thinking of more boards to create to display images I want to share.So here’s how I’m going to start out using it. I’ve created a pin board titled SHOWCASE YOUR CHILD’S DREAM BOOK COVER. I am issuing a challenge to all parents to work on a project with your child to help them create a DREAM BOOK where they can record all of the things they would like to have. The object is that whenever your child asks you to buy her something, you simply say, “Put that in your dream book!” This encouraged action on the child’s part opens up the creative channels for her to begin dreaming of anything she would like to have. It also reduces your stress as a means of getting her to stop bugging you to buy her something she has seen. And when she reaches adulthood, she’s able to dream as big as she wants to create the life she truly wants to have.  Get as creative as you want with the dream book and what the heck; create one of your own! When you have a finished image of your child’s dream book, contact me and share your Pinterest ID with me and I’ll grant you access to this pin board. You can then post an image of your child’s creation for all to see. When I get enough submissions, I may then have a contest to have board visitors vote on their favorite dream book cover. Have fun and I look forward to seeing your child’s dream book cover! |
