What rewards are you giving and what rewards are they internalizing.

Daily journals, not blowing up the bridge, keeping the divide from getting bigger.

’m not saying this is how it should be.  It’s a thought experiment of possibilities.

What are you really teaching your kid and what do you want to focus on.

People are attracted to people that excite them and engage with them. Be your better self and you'll get noticed.

Pick the values that matter most to you. Pick the things you really hope your child learns from you. Then use those to have conversations, not all the other noise that we (you) think needs to be said that is getting filter out through all the other noise.

What outside influences is impacting your time?

What is your routine that just may be the best part of their day.

I’m not saying this is how it should be.  It’s a thought experiment for how it could be.
