I spend a lot of time thinking about how to raise my children. And how to pass life lessons along to them. One of the most important ones I can think of is to be very careful of who you partner with. Not only in business but in all relationships.
I have had to learn this lesson more than once the hard way.
Anyone have any true pearls of wisdom they would be willing to share?
Make sure you and your spouse are meeting each others needs and on the same page on how you want to raise your children. Strong unified leadership is as important in your household as it is in running a business in my experience.
When my kids were young, I talked a lot about how difficult being a teenager is.
The changes they will face, how much they will resent myself and their mother, etc.
When the time came, we had that bridge and they understood that what they were going through was completely normal, and I wasn't their enemy.
Still had its struggles, but I learned that preparation of what life will throw at them is key.
I really like that. The idea of having that bridge between you and them that you intentionally cultivated while they were young. That is pure genius. Ty for sharing that. 🤙🏼
Still learning myself but the one thing I’ve noticed I really need to improve on is simply taking the time to sit down and be present in the moment with my daughter. I’m someone that has a hard time sitting still at heart and can always find something to do between dishes, vacuuming or other random household chores.
I’m really trying to be better about letting all that shit just wait and focus on spending more moments sitting with her. Even if that’s all it is is sitting.
I think the fact that you have been able to figure out that being present with her is something you need to do is big in its own right. Nothing replaces intentional focused time in a child’s life. There will always be chores, work, and the minutiae of life. But kids are only little once. Awesome stuff Ty for sharing 🤙🏼
Being present. Lots hugs. Telling them you love them.
Amen. I was going to write something about this very point the other day. It’s very easy to go down the Nostr rabbit hole and spend a lot of time on here. Very important to tell those you love that you love them. But more importantly make the time and effort to spend time together. Being present.
Yes it’s so simple yet far reaching. You will see the appreciation. Teach and share love ❤️
