Kids show up everyday...can't stop it...their internal worlds and mental slate burst onto the scene ready to be written on somewhere between 5-7am...depending on how lucky you are...

This one in particular, peeks out the door to try and gauge the general aura of the house - subconsciously taking measurement of if his presence is welcome or not - when eye contact is found...everything in him seems to rise to his first human connection of the day - a mild roar usually follows as he runs as fast as he can into me...sitting on the couch.


Is this not the case for all of us?


Where is your first connection on any given day? A genuine connection that puts you into contact with another being? Whats that connection feel like?


As this bro takes on the next year of his life, his mental slate becomes slightly less wide-open. Everyday, it gets a bit more cemented in as his worldview - everyday my ability as a parent to influence it gets a bit smaller. Do show up today - help be the connection that your kid needs.

If you take a pulse of our culture's worldview it is driven by what feels good. Today its this tomorrow its that, being thrown around by various forms of manipulation...maybe the news, maybe social media, maybe your own internal confusion - but rarely will you find individuals in our culture that have the mental strength required to stand for what they believe is the right things to do.

Real change is slow, gradual and requires actual strength.

Our kids will get to points of crisis where they will have to choose for themselves...you however have the ability to build out a framework, a worldview, that doesn't waver in conviction but understands they are loved, strong and marked by the courage required to bring real change to the world.

Show up - when you didn't sleep, when your stressed about whatever...when you feel the pull of your own demons...find that connection for yourself - that voice that calls out your greatness - so that you can pass that on to the next generation...

Great topic.

We raised two completely opposite individuals but both stand strong for themselves and their passions. It is nice to see.

We are big believers in family. This is where it all starts and truly feel parents should build the framework for their children. Hopefully they can build in their own way from there.

Our most important message to our children is we are their safe haven, their unshakeable support system and home is where they should turn in turmoil. Parenting doesn't end when they move on as individuals.

thanks for reading! I am still in the throws of parenting no doubt we got 4 and this one is our youngest - looking forward to a life of parenting!

Your positive attitude and strong resolve are indications you are and will do a great job.
