Hey, so where are Finn and Jake with their writing? Where am I with helping others write a book with their kids?Let's see... 

We all look to a comfort zone when bad things happen. But that may not be the best thing to do...

Are you overwhelmed? You don’t have to be. I'm in the middle of a self-imposed online challenge. So many are dropping out, others talking about being overwhelmed with the workload, and what it will take to complete the 30-day challenge. So, I offered some advice. I work full time, flying jets across the wild Atlantic, I'm a co-parenting dad and founded and run two new enterprises.Here's some of my tips, how do I cope and try to prevent overwhelm…  

Books are not all created equally, and there are so many differences between writing kids books, and writing novels. For the first one, I had to learn those differences, and I had to remember this was their book, Finn and Jake's not mine. So how did that go? 

The benefits of planning, writing, publishing and getting into print a book with your kids are immense. But the benefits don't only apply to your kids! When that room is empty, when the time comes to drop them off or have them picked up, that book can be an incredible help...  

So apart from all the myriad of benefits the kids and I got from writing a book together, we had fun at the markets. We've started small but are moving on up from a small market to something big and challenging. How cool is that?But what does it really mean?

What's a single parent anyway? I've asked myself that question since I was a kid. Let's see. And what does it mean for you and your kids? Probably more in a positive way than you think. 

What to write? That wasn't a question we had, it came naturally as the book came first then the idea to write it, publish it and get it in print came after. Perhaps for you it's coming the other way around. Let's see what we can do about that. And why did we write about a car that has a lot to learn, instead of what was going on with us?

Have you found yourself going from Hero to Zero? I’ve been a professional athlete and get back up when I fall. I’ve flown some of the biggest jets in the world and know how to deal with emergencies. So how could I be falling and not know how to stop it? And when I looked down at my two young boys, 2-year-old Jake with big brown, puppy eyes and 6-year-old Finn with Leonardo DiCaprio blue, both with the look of the lost and confused, I knew I had to step it up and find a way.

A divorced father of two, Ray discovered that writing a book with his kids not only helped them deal with the situation, but propelled them into a new way of seeing the world, it empowered and educated them in so many ways and continues to. Now he is setting out to show other parents how they can do it too with How To Write A Book With Your Kids.
