Create a sense of purpose for youth SWEETS Continued from page 5 day. Awe! I know it's been hot but don't be in such a hurry for winter yet, I'm not ready for the jacket or sweater. The heat index is what should stay away but August just began so may- be the temps won't feel so bad. I know, wishful think- ing. The Patoka River is al- most to the overflow mark. Last week, Kyana, Ko- da, and Kendra got to en- joy each other as they sang, played games, did make-up, and mostly had a great time together for the few days. Wayne was hap- py to have them stay. Also, grandchildren grow up too fast also like your own chil- dren did. We talked to Tim and Jeannette and they are do- ing well and Coonie had been so busy we all final- ly caught up with him al- so. Terry Wheeler is doing well after his surgery for stones removed. My Mom, Mildred, is here for a visit and the Poehlein Reunion; she had already seen some old friends at Laura's church and saw her cousin Win- nie Dawson and Eva. The Festival meeting for Sept. 16, the 12th year of the Winslow Commu- nity Festival and Light up Winslow Parade, was last week where there will be two locations, up town and at the Riverside Park. Lots of activities for all ag- es, games for the kids, blown ups, food deserts, music, karaoke, tractor show, shuttle service, and much more, so bring your lawn chairs and stay for the while day and then enjoy the original 12th Annual Light up Winslow Parade. Flea Market entry is at town hall for a 10x10 space for $10. The next meet is at 6 p.m. August 8. Would you like to do something as a family? Then go to plac- es like a park and find the Pike County Rocks or the Gibson County Rocks. So far they have been seen in parks but they may have been moved to another lo- cation. They are colorful rocks that have a saying like Hello or it has a painted figure, then on the back it has where to go to say you have "found it." The rocks are very colorfully done and it's a fun day to have with your family. Another family time is to pack a pic- nic lunch and enjoy. Short reading this week of ramblings so as the lights begin to dim, please keep an eye on family and friends, slow down and en- joy what is spectacular in your area, and always smile, wave, and say Hi to everyone you see this week.

State Rd. 56, Hazleton, IN 47640. We'd love to hear from you and share your hap- penings. A fter a busy day helping kids as a school social worker, I often come home from work feeling the need to decompress. Many days I find myself trying to process the daily struggles of my students. My husband and I regularly discuss what it means to help a child in need. How can I serve all the kids I meet with effectively? There are many directions this con- versation can go, but one concept we often discuss is the necessity for youth to feel a part of something – a need for connection, a sense of belonging, or perhaps best said, a sense of purpose. Research shows that teens and young adults that seek purpose have higher levels of life satisfaction and happiness. While recognizing these needs is important, the more challeng- ing component is to how best connect youth to this sense of purpose. When I recently listened to Face- book founder Mark Zuckerberg give an eloquent commencement speech to Harvard University graduates, I was impassioned by his message of "pur- pose," because it was so reflective of many of my interactions with the kids I serve through Youth First. Mr. Zuck- erberg's thesis was that "finding your purpose isn't enough; the challenge is to create a world where everyone has a sense of purpose." ( You can find Zuck- erberg's speech on You Tube.) With this in mind, I often find my conversations with distressed youth gravitating towards the things in life they care about – people, ideas, and dreams – and how I can best point them towards these connections. So how might one do this? Zucker- berg offers three concepts that can help you lead your child towards a sense of connection, belonging and purpose: 1. Encourage participation in some- thing bigger than yourself. Examples include community service, sports, drama, music, or clubs. 2. Try to create the feeling or envi- ronment where the child is needed. 3. Help facilitate an environment, attitudes and goals where there is al- ways something better ahead to work towards. In my experience, I believe it is pro- ductive to help your child see a bright future and focus on what is to come rather than what is in the past. Ac- cording to William Damon, author of The Path to Purpose: How Young Peo- ple Find Their Calling in Life, benefits can include living longer and healthier; valuing humility, gratitude and integri- ty; being more academically engaged; being more pro-socially oriented and engaged; being interested in how their actions affect others, and more. The teen years are a time to explore one's inner and outer world and seek new experiences. Hopefully these ex- periences will also create time for self-reflection so that teens can dis- cover what gives their life purpose and meaning – what makes them feel alive. Parents can set an example for their teen by modeling a sense of pur- pose in their own lives. Guide your teen toward finding their purpose in life. Help them break down their purpose into achievable goals and take action to support them until they've achieved their goals. Pride in what they accomplish and service to others can build a capacity for great- er purpose that endures into their life well beyond the teen years.
