Today’s Tip
Parents, if we are being honest with ourselves, we canโt control our children. ๐๐ถ๐ณ ๐จ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ ๐ด๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ญ๐ฅ๐ฏ’๐ต ๐ฃ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ต๐ณ๐ฐ๐ญ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฎ, ๐ฃ๐ถ๐ต ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ฃ๐ฆ ๐ข ๐จ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฅ ๐ช๐ฏ๐ง๐ญ๐ถ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ค๐ฆ ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฎ.โฃ

When we try to control our kids, we take away their autonomy. When they are away from us, it’s rare that they actually do what we want them to do. They do what they want to do regardless, if it’s good for them or not. They just want the freedom to make their own choices for once. โฃ๐
โฃ
But when we influence them by teaching, training, and being good role models, they internalize and maintain their autonomy and do what they feel is right. And itโs based on what we’ve taught them – ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ธ๐ฆโ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ข๐ณ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ฐ๐ณ ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ต.โฃ

It might be hard sometimes, especially as our children grow older, but we need to trust that we have taught them well. Save this post for later when you need the reminder that youโre doing a good job. ๐
