How to Make Your Good Ideas Become a Reality...


Great ideas can be big or small. Parents don’t always listen to what you have to say but hopefully this list will help you deal with this problem. Say you want to make a bird feeder, or want to design something in your room, or just thought of something cool. Don’t be intimidated by your parent’s responses. Your say means just as much as there’s. Follow these steps and they will take you a lot more seriously.
1. Write down your idea. Think it through and write down everything good about it. What it will do, what it will cause, why you want to do it. Anything you can think of that could work in your favor. Drawing out a picture could help too. Making a pros and cons list is what a lot of adults do. So if you really want to impress your parents or teacher, make one of those. A pros and cons list is where you make a list of positive things and negative things. If the positive side has more things on it, you know you've got a good idea.
2. Picture it in your head. If you can visualize something and it looks good, you should feel more confident about it.
3. Talk about the idea to your friends, if they agree and like it, then that’s great. If they disagree about something, get their opinion and take that into consideration. The more opinions you get the better.
4. Tell the idea to your parents or teacher. Explain to them what you came up with, why you would like to do it, and present your list of pros and cons. If they say yes that sounds like a plan then congratulations! You've done what you set out to do and that’s a great feeling. Remember parental supervision is always necessary. Have fun and good luck.
