Met a man today named Chris.

He told my boys that I was a hero.

I quickly replied that all dads are hero’s

That’s our jobs as dads.

Be present dads

I just got told that expecting youth football too:

1. Keep sidelines clean
2. Respect referees
3. Do gassers as a correction tool
4. Take a knee when a player is injured
5. No cussing
6. Look professional

Is completely unreasonable for 12u
What has happened to society?

Never miss a opportunity to learn.
It may be useless right now.
But it may be the single skill neeeded to win in 5 years on May 9th at 3pm.

[Eric W. Howell @EricWHowell]

Good job for doing nothing.

The greatest lie every told to our youth.

Standards are determined by the Chaos leadership tolerates.

There is no such thing as dieing of old age.

Something kills us all!

Something as small as a bacteria

Or

Something as big as a bear

💍 RELATIONSHIPS:

“Happy wife, happy life.”

This creates a hostage situation, not a marriage.

Two miserable people trying to make ONE person happy.

The actual truth?

Happy SPOUSE, happy house.

The Most DANGEROUS Thing Ever

What we KNOW to be true…
that just ain’t so.

As I get more life under my belt, I’m shocked by how many “truths” are FLAT OUT WRONG.

Here are 4 that might break your brain 👇

[Eric W. Howell @EricWHowell]

✝️ FAITH:

“Money is the root of all evil.”

Three words wrong.
It’s the LOVE of money.
Not money itself.

And “all” means all kinds not every evil ever.

Eve didn’t eat the fruit for a paycheck.

Cain didn’t kill Abel for cash.

The verse means: when you love money more than people, you’ll do ALL KINDS of evil to get it.

Money is a tool.
Love the people.
Use the money.

If you want to change your child's behavior start by changing the identity they hear from you every day.

Speak to who they're BECOMING.

Not who they were in their worst moment.

[Eric W. Howell @EricWHowell]

Because our kids become the stories they hear the most especially the ones told by mom and dad.

There's power in what we speak over them.

[Eric W. Howell @EricWHowell]

No expensive books.

No secret techniques.

Just one shift:

We stopped labeling the problem...

and started nurturing the identity.

[Eric W. Howell @EricWHowell]

Within months?

We noticed the shift.

They carried themselves differently.

They started regulating emotions better.

They started believing what we spoke over them.

[Eric W. Howell @EricWHowell]

We're not raising "perfect kids."

We're raising kids who believe:

"I'm someone worth showing up for."

[Eric W. Howell @EricWHowell]

Identity builds faster than discipline.

You can correct behavior...

But identity decides the direction.

[Eric W. Howell @EricWHowell]

Our kids aren't listening to every word.

But they ARE absorbing every label we repeat.

[Eric W. Howell @EricWHowell]

Neuroscience calls it:

SELF-IDENTITY IMPRINTING

Repeated words
→ repeated self-image
→ repeated behavior.

What you say about them becomes what they believe about themselves.

[Eric W. Howell @EricWHowell]

And something wild happened.
Our kids started acting like the people we were speaking them into being.

Why?

Because kids mirror the identity
they think you see in them.
