Now you can easily see which intention we are focusing on so you can follow along at home with your family.

Whatcha think of the new look? 🤷‍♀️

This is what choosing to be a good friend looks like for a 10 year old who is raised intentionally. Super proud of how she handled this friend drama.

Whenever I say stuff like this to my kids, it ends up being the kind of day that I get a FULL report. Sending your kids off this way reminds them that they are capable humans that should explore possibilities as they come.

Write this one down and try it tomorrow morning and see what happens when you encourage your kiddos to pursue personal growth and foster that independence.

Pro-tip: Don’t forget to ask them when they get home, “So...how’d those challenges go today?”

At dinner tonight or perhaps on a walk around the block, ask this question to see if your family can point out a time this week when they were confident. If someone is having a hard time pinpointing a moment of confidence, see if you can help them out. It could sound like, "You looked pretty confident when you __, right? Did you feel confident then?"

The whole point of the chat is to help each person realize they are confident and capable while building them up for next time. "I've seen you make Mac n' Cheese, I bet you can make scrambled eggs." "I've seen you study for this test, you will do great tomorrow." "I've seen you perform your lines in your room, I know you can perform on stage." See? Use what you know they can do as a springboard for things they haven't done...yet!

Happy Sunday!

Want to help instill confidence in your kiddos? Remind them about nonverbal cues...like a confident body posture? Yep! You betcha!

Whether you are seated or standing, the magic of a "head up, chest up" approach to posture can convey the message to others that you are a confident and capable human. Think about this once today and you are winning! 💪

Tonight at dinner or while you're on a walk or sitting on the couch, ask your kiddo this question: What's the last thing someone did that made you smile?

This can be pretty hard to do...at first. But being able to recall things like this can really have an impact on how kids act themselves. If they can make the link in their brains between something someone did and how it made them feel? Maybe they'll start doing more of that to impact others in a positive way.

Pro-tip: If they say, "Nothing. No one made me smile." Then you need to think real quick of something to do or say that will make them smile right then and there. And then you can say, "Now that was something."

When I ask my kids this question I make sure to define the kind of love I'm talking about here. I start with, "Not the mushy gushy lovey dovey kind of love, but who do you really connect with? Who is it that really understands you and respects you? And accepts you for who you are? Who motivates you and is with you in difficult times and still pushes you to grow?" If your kids are still with you...just stop talking and see what they say. If they look at you like, "Huh?" Just say, "Who is someone you really connect with?" And then stop talking and listen and see what they say.

Love notes provide a tangible way to express your feelings of love and appreciation to all your family members. These don't have to be fancy schmancy either. Get whatever paper you can find and a bowl from your kitchen cabinet and get to writing.
Here are some ideas:
• Let's snuggle!
• I love you!
• You make me smile!
• You make this family better!
• Get a free hug from Mom!

Step 1: Explain what "get your goat" means. To make someone annoyed or angry:
The origin is interesting: Thought to have a calming effect on high-strung thoroughbreds, a goat was placed in the horse's stall on the night before the race. Unscrupulous opponents would then steal the goat to upset the horse and cause it to lose the race. Interesting right? Told ya!

Step 2: Ask your family if changing plans typically annoys them, upsets them, or if it's no biggie.

Having this discussion might surprise you. Give it a try tonight!
