009: 3 Lessons My Kids Have Taught Me


Listen Later

Do you ever find yourself so stuck in the daily grind that you forget what's really important in this life? Then you are going to love today's show, all about the three most important lessons my kids have taught me. Usually, we think of this in the other direction – we are the teachers, they are the learners.


But here are three key lessons my boys have taught me:


1) Humility – how my then eight-year-old taught me to look at a homeless guy, and see a real person


2) Adaptability – how my then five-year-old aced a grueling surgery and months-long recovery


3) Experience Wonder – how my youngest's mind-blowing questions reminded me that wonder is everywhere, and we need to revel in it


If you take just one thing away from this episode, I hope it is this: we parents are not the only people in our families with valuable lessons to teach.


What have your kids taught you? Please share by going to weturnedoutokay.com/contact, or find me on twitter@StoneAgeTechie.


Thanks so much for listening, and I can't wait to hear from you!
