LPT: If you are considering learning a musical instrument or learning to sing, I highly recommend also learning the basics of a piano. Knowing your way around a keyboard will help you understand what you're doing on all other instruments and while singing.

LPT: Pick at least 1 day a year to check/replace/remove dying batteries, not just in smoke alarms. Weather radios, older remotes, anywhere they may leak and ruin devices. And recycle, don't toss the old ones. Time change dates are easiest to remember, or set 1 or 2 annual reminders.

LPT: Take a good picture of your kids before going to a busy place (like an amusement park or a sports arena). If they get lost, a photo will show exactly how they look and what they are wearing.

LPT: When visiting a museum, find the volunteer attendants and kindly ask if they have a personal favorite piece in the gallery. They're generally more passionate and they’ll often show you random things that you’d otherwise look over

LPT: Don't look at your clock when waking up during the night to increase your quality of sleep. It's a lot easier to fall back asleep when you don't keep track of the sleeping time you still have left.

LPT: If out and about with a group and a member falls behind and the rest of the group walks ahead, wait for the person. It is a simple way to be kind and demonstrate that you put others first.

LPT: Lots of kids are encouraged to dream big. Don't let this become a shackle in adult life, feeling you never fulfilled your "potential." Those dreams were a way to energize you to learn, practice, and focus. They are rarely realistic and don't take into account the complexities of real life.
