They're the grown up in the room.
I had a dad who's the CEO of a company who said in my office one time, I went to a conference and they talked about how the CEO is supposed to be the calmest person in the room.
And he said, I was so convicted because I think that's a parent's job, too.
And so what does it look like to be this calm, steady, strong support for your kids that helps them understand that you're in charge in a really kind way?
compassionate way.
I think that's so much of where we establish authority with kids and we do it in an authoritative way instead of an authoritarian way.
Chores.
Making their own bed, taking out the trash, chores.
Even statistically, chores build so much confidence in kids.
And again, we talk to parents every week who say, really, I can give them chores?
That's not going to hurt them?
It's so good for kids to have any kind of chores.
Help them figure out what they can do.
Even ask them.
Talk about it as a family around the dinner table.
Great practice.
That would be amazing.
And what an amazing opportunity for your kids to connect with their grandmother.
Yes.
Wait, but I got to go back because I don't know if your grandparents are still living, are they?
