There was an Instagram post I wanted to get a #ThinkingOutLoud reaction to and reflect with you on the podcast. You can view the Instagram post here: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cw0hkxZOx40/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
🌟 Here are 3 key takeaways from the episode:
1️⃣ Start Early: It's never too soon to begin teaching children important life skills. If we want kind, tough, successful adults, we need to instill these qualities from a young age. Teach them kindness, toughness, perseverance, and teamwork, and give them the gift of practice and time to hone these skills.
2️⃣ Lead by Example: As adults, it's important for us to embody the characteristics and values we want to see in the next generation. Demonstrating these qualities through our actions not only provides a tangible example for children to follow but also encourages open dialogue and understanding when faced with challenging situations.
3️⃣ Long-Term Perspective: Patience and intentionality are key when raising children and building relationships with the next generation. We must adopt a long-term perspective, understanding that the lessons we teach today will shape the adults they become in the future. Planting seeds now will allow them to grow into fully empowered and successful individuals.
Reflective questions for you:
- How does changing our mindset to seeing children and young adults as future leaders shift the way we interact with them and invest in their growth?
- What are some practical ways we can begin to plant seeds for future growth in the next generation starting today?
