Children learn what they live.
I can’t get enough of this little guy, who’s as good a motivational coach as you’ll ever find. But young children aren’t natural born encouragers - they’re apprentices in the environments into which they are born and live.
What do his words tell you about the types of interactions he’s used to? The supports his parents consistently provide?
If you want your child to be caring, encouraging, courteous… you’re the key.
This amazing video via one of my favorite creators, dad_vlog on IG, whose thoughtful parenting is always on display. Give him a follow if you aren’t already. Top notch.
I CAN’T STOP LAUGHING. 😂
“A father passing by his son's bedroom was astonished to see that his bed was nicely made and everything was picked up.
Then he saw an Envelope, propped up prominently on the pillow that was addressed to 'Dad.'
With the worst premonition he opened the envelope with trembling hands and read the letter.
‘Dear Dad: It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you. I had to elope with my new girlfriend because I wanted to avoid a scene with Mom and you.
I have been finding real passion with Stacy and she is so nice.
But I knew you would not approve of her because of all her piercing, tattoos, tight motorcycle clothes and the fact that she is much older than I am. But it's not only the passion...
…Dad she's pregnant. Stacy said that we will be very happy.
She owns a trailer in the woods and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. We share a dream of having many more children.
Stacy has opened my eyes to the fact that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone.
We'll be growing it for ourselves and trading it with the other people that live nearby for cocaine and ecstasy.
In the meantime we will pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so Stacy can get better. She deserves it.
Don't worry Dad. I'm 15 and I know how to take care of myself.
Someday I'm sure that we will be back to visit so that you can get to know your grandchildren.
Love, Your Son John…
PS. Dad, none of the above is true. I'm over at Tommy's house.
I Just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than a Report card that's in my center desk drawer.
I love you.
Call me when it's safe to come home.”
