⁣
🧠 They treat themselves the way they have been treated and they think about themselves as what they think you think about them (good, bad or indifferent). ⁣
⁣
❓How do you want your loved ones to speak to you? The answer to that question should be a guide on how we should speak to our children.⁣
⁣
So when interacting with your children, keep these things in mind: 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐝, 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞!

ALLOW YOURSELF TO HAVE WEAK MOMENTS INSTEAD OF A WEAK MINDSET

August 18, 2019

Brother Devon, I too allowed misconstrued masculinity hinder my expression of love for my daughter. I will never forget when she slammed her finger in my car door at 8 years old.
