Tap here to watch the replay for Day 2 [Day-2 Replay] Tap here to register for Day 3 [Save Your Seat For Day-3] Don't have time to read this long post? [Listen To It Instead] Greetings Proactive Parents, I want to address some conflict that came up during last night’s workshop. And let me preface it by saying this... This message is not directed at any person in particular. This is a hypothetical scenario. You didn’t go through the drive-thru. You didn’t order no coffee. And your daughter didn’t ask for a cookie. So nobody take this personally, this is a hypothetical scenario NOW LET'S GET INTO IT A mother goes through the drive-thru and orders herself a coffee. The daughter says, “Mom, can I have a cookie?” And the mother replies, “No — we’ve got cookies at home.” And the daughters reply was "Well, we got coffee at home" Now we're at a crossroads. Imagine you're in this scenario. Are you gonna show your child humility or hypocrisy? Because the daughter’s not wrong — there is coffee at home. So why can Mom buy coffee, but she can’t have a cookie? Somebody might say: “I’m teaching my child to be financially responsible — we don’t need to buy cookies when we already got cookies at home.” Somebody else might say: “I just didn’t feel like making coffee today. We’re already out, so I’ll grab a coffee while were here That's a fair point, but if the real lesson is financial responsibility. You tell me: how financially responsible is it to spend money at the drive-thru when you already got coffee at home? This is when it's time to look in the mirror. We say we want to teach responsibility, but sometimes we not showing responsibility we showing convenience. So again, are you going to be humble or are you going to hypocrite? Are you gonna say: “You know what, you’re right — we do have coffee at home. Let me get you that cookie.”

My normal reaction would be to hypocrit and because am a parent feel entitledto do what ever I want get the coffee and the kid will get a cookie at home but I see your point, because we are teaching responsibility and humility the right thing is to repent and be humble to say, you know what, you are right we do have coffee and cookies at home ,let's rather have them at home. Your child will definitely know that , everyone can be wrong and its okay to admit it ,be corrected and that reaches humility.
We go LIVE tonight at 7pmEST (Audio Email)
If you don’t have the brainpower to read another long post today… I got you. Hit play and listen to this one instead. [PLAY] We go LIVE tonight at 7 PM EST [SAVE YOUR SEAT NOW] I don’t know about you, but my parents never really explained why their rules existed, they just expected me to obey. “Because I said so” was the answer to many things. And for a while, that worked… until life started asking questions they never taught me how to answer. After speaking with many parents from all walks of life, I’ve noticed something interesting. Many of them are unknowingly repeating the same patterns their own parents did - some helpful, some harmful. The real challenge is, most parents don’t take the time to self-reflect. Not because they don’t care, but because they’re exhausted, overextended, and doing the best they can with what they know. That’s exactly why I’m hosting Raising Ready Kids, a live interactive workshop designed to help parents slow down, self-reflect, and see what’s really shaping their child’s growth. You’ll learn how to turn everyday moments into teachable ones, and discover how self-awareness can become your child’s greatest inheritance. Imagine how different your life would be if your parents had explained why instead of saying, “Because I said so.” Imagine how many tough lessons you could have learned through their guidance, instead of through trial and error. And I bet some of those errors still hurt til this day. Now imagine how much better off your children will be once you become the kind of parent who explains, reflects, and models the lessons life is trying to teach. This is your chance to break the cycle and raise a child who’s ready for anything life throws their way. I’d love for you to be part of this live workshop where we’ll explore how self-awareness turns everyday moments into lasting lessons. We go LIVE tonight at 7 PM EST - save your seat here → Ready.DevinTrent.com

Am definitely guilty of i said so syndrom, it works to a certainpoint but when I look at how my kid's see things and how different our generations are, it makes sense to explain why things are done a certain way and what is expected from them, you can be a better person when you know better.
