You become the people with whom you surround yourself. The notion of "self" is real, but it is far more expansive than most think. We are all mirrors reflecting onto one another.

If you want to be wise, strong, and kind then surround yourself with wise, strong, and kind people.

Wow. After being a loyal @Rogers wireless customer for 22 YEARS, and even though I gave them a chance to match their competitors offers ($24 less for 2 lines combined), they have decided that my loyalty doesn't mean anything. Switching carriers tomorrow. #gouged

Taylor Swift’s song “The Man” is a spot-on expose of the double standard in how successful men and women are viewed. #Swifties she and her success kick patriarchy’s chauvinist ass. no wonder she threatens some.

@DanWuori We prefer to say "practice makes progress" in our family. Older kids that struggle with anxiety and perfectionism can feel pressured with "practice makes perfect".

The. Best.

Want to nurture your baby’s early language? It’s really not rocket science, but it does take your time and attention.

First, your baby is never too young to be spoken to. It may seem odd to have a conversational partner that can’t yet respond in conventional ways. But your baby is soaking your language up like a sponge.

And never forget they learn language from YOU. Not a screen. Speak face to face with your baby. Make eye contact. Put down your phone and light up that developing brain 🧠.

Talk, talk, talk. Engage, engage, engage.

You’ll be amazed by the results - and you will have set your baby on the path toward a lifetime of success.

Want to light up your baby’s brain? Think “serve and return.” 🎾

Much like a tennis match, serve and return entails back and forth interaction during which adult and child trade conversational (and other expressive) turns.

This father/daughter duo provide a fantastic example.

Only 8 weeks old, baby “serves” by reaching out for her father’s attention - making eye contact, sticking out her tongue, and cooing.

Her adoring and attentive dad, meanwhile, “returns” - mimicking and extending her cues and vocalizations.

As the two participate in this mutual exchange, neural connections are strengthened that support the development of baby’s communication and social skills.

More than just your physical presence, your baby needs your undivided attention - so be mindful of screen time and other distractions and engage your little one face-to-face. The dividends will be huge.
