Ok kids, today I want to talk about how the website Thrively.com helped me reconnect with my son. Tommy is your typical 14 year old buy who spends copious amounts of time eating, going to school, playing Minecraft and Pokemon, and, of course, sleeping.
After being invited to look at the site, Tommy was asked to take a short 20-25 minute assessment — basically finding out what he loved to do. After the assessment was complete, he was given a listing of possible aptitudes, one of which was archery.
So one rainy Saturday afternoon we took the advise Thrively.com had given Tommy and went to the Old 45 Archery range not too far away from my house. We were greeted there by the one of the owners, Jeanette Baerwald, and left it in her capable hands to teach us the archery ropes. Not 10 minutes later we were in “free shooting” mode- popping balloons down the range and trying to best the last shot. We had a blast!
Seeing Tommy find something he was good at…thanks to our friends at Thrively– was nothing short of amazing! He actually WANTED to do this and he wants to go back. But more importantly, it is something we can do together. I’m just stunned!
Thank you Thrively for helping me reconnect to my son in a way I never imagined!
