Yusuf has been working on creating a scavenger hunt for the kids nearby. He was really thoughtful putting together the clues. He was thoughtful to make sure they weren't too easy or too hard and that everyone from the youngest kids to the oldest kids would be included and engaged. He thought about where he could and couldn't hide clues all up and down the street and at the park.
He was really thoughtful about the teams. He wanted to make sure there was an even mix of intelligence and was sure there were older kids to chaperone the younger kids. He tried very hard to appease everyone when they had requests about whose team they wanted to be on. And he was very diplomatic in explaining about the requests he couldn't fill even if it didn't feel important to him.
After a few false starts the scavenger hunt was on. It seemed like a good time for all and seemed to work out great. A success!
Later my dad commented that he was a natural leader. My first thoughts were yeah and allhamdolillah. I thought more about why.
Yusuf was thoughtful and it made him successful. It played no small part in him being a leader.
Taher, be more thoughtful.
