It's such an important question.

So children are, we're teaching our children, right?

And we're teaching them through more than anything, our behaviors.

We model things more than anything we would say to them.

And the things we're discussing right now are not things that are taught in school.

I remember

I took algebra, geometry, world history.

I took pretty sophisticated classes, actually.

But it's not built to teach you how to deal with a lot of these things, how to build a great social life, for example.

It's not...

You're not doing that.

So I think that that's something that a parent bequeaths to a child if they're intentional about it.

You want to teach your children healthy mindsets.

You want to teach them about gratitude, for example.

Well, how are you going to do that?

Well, what if you take out before maybe the weekend meal to say once a week, let's all review this past week.

and discuss one or two things we were grateful for.

How powerful can that be with your children?

That's incredibly powerful.

But what happens is we just get so busy and we're living life reactively in terms of all the things we have to do.
