🚨 Parents — your kids don’t need a perfect superhero. They need to see you mess up… and fix it. This IG post is pure gold: When you openly handle a small failure, you’re teaching resilience, emotional regulation, and that mistakes = growth. Not lectures. Real-life modeling. Brain science proves it: Kids mirror how we navigate setbacks, not what we preach. We don’t want to be parents who hide their struggles. Who’s showing their kids the real you this week? https://www.instagram.com/p/DROPB6lCU_9/?igsh=MWs2cm16aWJ2Y2lteQ==

Too often we develop a hard heart when the only thing that should’ve grown thicker is our skin. If we can live with thick skin while maintaining a soft heart, everything would go better. Lord, show us the difference and help me keep my heart soft through everything that happens.

If your expectations for your kids aren’t realistic (usually too high) you’ve set yourself up for a lot of unnecessary and unhelpful emotions.

Nurturing your own development isn’t selfish. It’s actually a great gift to other people. Rick Hanson. We all know we need to put our oxygen masks on before assisting others. What do you do to take care of yourself so you can better take care of your family? I make sure and take a walk at least once a day. Usually with my wife Lauren…and journal.
