#899: Card Game Lessons

A deck of cards could teach your son an important lesson. Remember the card games you played growing up? Go fish, hearts, nerts, or spades? Search the internet if you need a refresher on the rules, make your son’s favorite snack, and find some decks of cards. It’s time for a family game night. As you play with your son, you will teach him several important lessons. He will learn to listen and follow rules as you teach him the game. As you play, he’ll practice staying focused. And as you win– or lose– you will show him how men can do both, gracefully and humbly. And more than anything, putting aside your work and chores to play a game with your son will make him feel loved and valued.
