Coming into 2018! Another year - another opportunity to help build champions of my kids.

I hear all the time from white hairs -

'just wait till they are teenagers'

I know little about this - my oldest is 9. My wife and I were talking the other day - and realizing that our oldest will be out of the house when we are turning 40! It is just around the corner.

Into 2018

We will spend time talking about new years resolutions for ourselves. It will be common talk amongst your friends at work or in the neighborhood or whatever. My challenge for you is take some time dialoguing with your kids and asking the question what do your kids need in 2018.

Regardless of their age. My wife and I are talking through the question what do our kids really need? At ages 10-3 its different for each of them. But we want to be proactive in it. We understand we are not going to raise healthy, peaceful powerful people by accident. Around every corner there is and insecurity lurking. It's incredibly arrogant of me to think that the depression statistics, gender confusion and emotional turmoil that is puberty is not going to apply to my kids. I just tend to believe that we as parents should take responsibility in empowering, and supporting our kids to take that stuff on with courage, power and real weapons.

So what do your kids need in 2018? You know them best, and you can give them the appropriate support to help them become champions at life.

My 3 year old needs to be heard -

My 6 year old needs to be seen -

My 7 year old needs to be empowered -

My 9 year old needs to be supported -

My news lens for building world changers into 2018 -

Take some time to think about what your kids need going in 2018!

beautiful kids, i always thought parenting was boring...but you make this look interesting

boring never...it does cost you your life...but I have found my family to only enhance whats actually on my heart...all the best in your journey

Thanks and more grace to you sir

Sometimes we take things for granted. Have been very quiet and practically forgotten that I even had an account here. I'm glad I chanced on you post and I thank you @breakthrough for putting this down and making me realize that the things that are precious to us should never be taken for granted.

My daughter is 21 and I know she has issues struggling into the adult world and wanting very little help from us. Her constant litany of "Let me make my own mistakes so I can learn from it" constantly grates on my nerves as it conflicts my philosophy of "Why keep repeating known mistakes when you can avoid it" or even "Learn from other people's mistakes".

Thanks to you, I shall be more patient with her this 2018. Thank you.

thats awesome! patience is major key no doubt - I will pray that your daughter is able to both embrace with humility life lessons from her own experience as well as open up to channels of relationship with you - that she can learn from your own life experiences as well - thanks for reading!

@breakthrough, Your post was Resteemed by @OCD!
