The repeated messages we hear and the stories we tell about ourselves shape our reality and what our children believe to be true. In the latest member clip discussion, Brandon Miller talks about the message you are sending to your kids.

1. What are some of the repeated messages you send to your child?

2. What messages do you want to send?

3. How could you make sure those messages are repeated often?

For every 1 negative message we send, it is offset by at minimum 5 positive messages.

*Think and craft what messages you want you children to remember*

ABOUT THE GUEST

In a time of divides and tension, it is time to build bridges of understanding across our oceans of difference. We need to inspire Men in an engaging way to 'Be The Lesson in Action' and strive to become models of possibility for other men.

Jeff is a speaker, writer and facilitator, who since 2008 has delivered keynotes, talks and workshops on gender, masculinity, empathy-building, and men helping end gender-based violence.

Jeff discusses how society's unattainable and harmful ideas of masculinity impact people of all genders, as well as ways forward and positive maps to manhood.

Jeff has delivered two TEDx talks on Masculinity and men's troubled pursuits of identity: Words Speak Louder Than Actions looking at the power of gendered words, and The Ladder of Manhood which explores the male pursuit of identity and how too many men are fluent in a language of violence.

Jeff started Higher Unlearning as an online space to explore how ideas of gender and masculinity impact us in everyday life.
