An useful practice
I've remembered a good practice. Every evening you need to summarize all events you have had for the day. You can divide them into what you are proud of and that you don't.
That practice helps you to understand the life flow and feel you haven't wasted the day. It is interesting and useful to do that with your family when each talks about their day as a sequence of short facts.
I hope it can help my son to learn how is important to do every day something useful, even just any the smallest thing. So if you, in the future, look back, you won't regret your wasted days.
Modern children spend their time on gadgets, digital games, and social media, too much I guess. I get, my son is just a kid, but the earlier he understands what he wants in his life, starts setting his own goals, and tries to achieve them the faster he gets different advantages for his adult life.
