The Importance of Believing in Yourself for your Children | Expect of Them What You Expect of Yourself

In this episode we discuss why it’s important to to believe in yourself to set a good example for your kids. You can’t teach or instill something in someone else that you do not practice yourself and parenting is the one thing we do in life that has an intergenerational, long term impact. We discuss the direct impact we can have on our children’s belief and confidence in themselves through our own belief and confidence in ourselves. Parents often tell their kids not to care about what other people think about them, when in reality they themselves care a lot about what their own peers think. “Do you worry about what people think of you? Everything you’re asking of your kids, you need to ask back of yourself. And if you can’t answer the question the same way then you can’t expect it of your children” 2:30.

And I went to say to him, ‘Bro, you know you can do this. You’re just being lazy.’ And then It was just like a big mirror back at me.” 8:42
