LOVE IS FEARLESS

#046: How can I get my kids to work hard?


Listen Later

Our children thrive when they are given the dignity that they innately want to work--and work hard.  Do you believe this to be true?

In this episode, Janet and Doug unpack the vital differences between "working" and "performing."  They wrestle with the impact of manipulation in relationships, and the truth that our children are created to contribute--and find deep satisfaction.

Janet and Doug believe we can teach our kids the truth about work, so they are well equipped to dream about a big life.  They offer these TAKE AWAYS:

  • A work ethic is the fruit of cultivation, not manipulation.
  • Cultivation happens in trusting relationships--when the strong help the weak see something that's true in themselves. When we have a trusting relationship with our children, we get to cultivate a work ethic in our children.
  • Our homes can be greenhouses instead of factories.  We can pull the weeds out of our own thinking--about work and our identity as workers--and we can model the satisfaction of working hard in freedom instead of bondage.
