Kids don’t learn from what you say, but from who you are, and too many parents are constantly silently judging their kids, and then wonder why their kids ended up lacking in confidence and creativity, when the answer is very simple:

because they spent their whole lives trying to get a positive evaluation from the very people who were only supposed to love them unconditionally,

and as a result, were scared of being wrong, never took any risk, and never became who they truly wanted to be, or rather, never even got the chance to explore who they truly wanted to be.
