- Those Impactful Moments Can Come Any Time
When we think teacher, we think classroom. When we think leader, we think the corner office or the lectern or a general in front of their troops. But the truth is that a teacher can do their job anywhere and in many forms, just as a leader can.

4 min - We Are All The Same
Nobody wants to be like their parents…or like the adults they remember growing up. The ones who were clueless…or uncool. The ones who seemed to forget what it was like to be a kid. The ones who rhapsodized about the good old days and the way things used to be.
But here’s the cold hard truth: You’re not different.

4 min - This Is Criminal
You weren’t the parent you wanted to be in 2022. You weren’t the person you wanted to be in 2022. Almost no one was. And anyone who thinks or says they were is lying.
None of us were perfect. We all screwed up. We all back-slid. We all picked up bad habits. And as a parent, that means our kids picked up those bad habits too. Because, as we’ve said before, behavior is the language of children.

6 min - This is Why They’re A Mess
Nobody’s listening. Everyone is grouchy. Grades are slipping. Siblings are fighting. What is happening, one spouse says to another. Why are the kids such a mess today?
The answer is there in plain sight: The kids are a mess because *things are a mess.*

2 min - Don't Merge Like This
We encourage our children. We want to set them up to succeed. But we can’t merge their glory into our own. We can’t let them think they have to impress us, make us proud, or worry that they have let us down or failed us.

23 min - This Is The Best CompetitionWay too many parents are competitive. They see the car their neighbor is driving and they want to get a better one. They hear that a friend’s kid got into a fancy school and they think, “My kid is smarter. I’ve got to get them in there too.” We want to make more money than other parents, we want our kids tobeat other kids in sports, we want our kids to be cuter than other kids, we want our houses to be cleaner.
Needless to say, this is mostly toxic and negative. Where should we channel it?

3 min - Show Them How To Be Beautiful
Epictetus said that the root of beauty was beautiful choices. “If your choices are beautiful,” he said, “so too will you be.”
It’s simple and it’s true. You are what your choices make you, nothing more and nothing less.

4 min - Where Did They Learn It From?
We’re rightfully disappointed when we hear about a kid getting caught cheating. Whether it’s on a test or a violation of some NCAA policy, it’s good that we take these things seriously. The problem, of course, is the lack of self-awareness–on our parts. We must ask ourselves where did they learn this from?

5 min - Everyone Has Something Going On?
We all know how hard our home life is, we know how it affects us–weighing on us, distracting us, making us act out. Well, we can safely assume that the same is true for everyone else. So we should then act with the corresponding empathy and understanding.
Everyone is going through something. They don’t need more crap from you.
