Teaching Kids To Count Is Fine, But Teaching Them What Counts Is Best

Parents, our children get more from us than just our genetics! They get their values and priorities, which are taught from us. ⁣
⁣
We have to show them what to prioritize with our actions and words. And although this seems like it would come naturally, it is much easier said than done.
⁣
While things like academics, chores, and other responsibilities have their place at the top of the list, we also want to ensure that they prioritize those things that are external and intangible; hobbies, sports, passions. Things that excite them! ⁣
⁣
We want our children to be happy. That is what counts! I want you to ask yourself, what excites your children? And how can you make it more of a priority in their lives? Drop a 💙 in the comments below if you can relate!

Fighting Through Failure

October 28, 2019

We must meet boys where they are, instead of where we want them to be—everyone is unique. So when they fail, don’t condemn them—encourage them to release their negative emotions and reflect on what they could have done better or need to do, so they can reset and move forward!

No Matter Where You Go- There You’ll Be

Suffering In Silence

October 21, 2019

Men are taught to suffer in silence, and as a result, relationships are failing all across the world. This is an edited clip of my time on the Mel Robbins Show—we tag team trauma to help a husband break free from emotional incarceration and save his marriage!
