2024-10-03

Hey Friends~ Have you been cultured to be quiet? Have you grown up NOT telling what is actually true for you? Perhaps you know that if you tell what you actually think - It would not be okay. You learned to say what is expected of you. This is “socialized behavior.” … There is a time for that. Not Today! If you want your kids to tell you the truth, you need to be able to accept ALL KINDS of truth. We cannot expect our kids to only speak the truth when we want to hear. That is, if you want an authentic, honest relationship with them!

Hey Friends~

Have you been cultured to be quiet? Have you grown up NOT telling what is actually true for you? Perhaps you know that if you tell what you actually think - It would not be okay. You learned to say what is expected of you.

This is “socialized behavior.” … There is a time for that.

Not Today!

If you want your kids to tell you the truth, you need to be able to accept ALL KINDS of truth. We cannot expect our kids to only speak the truth when we want to hear. That is, if you want an authentic, honest relationship with them!

If we start this socialized pattern when they are small, we inadvertently teach them they cannot trust themselves, which leads to many unnecessary struggles.

Always cheering you on!
