“Be the change you want to see.” The smallest act of kindness can create ripples of joy.✨

"The teddy bear and blanket will be comfy and make me feel safe."

A direct quote from a child that received a Welcome Pack from Foster Village East TN.

If you don’t know what you stand for, you fall for everything. Stand strong.

One of the earliest — and most damaging —lessons we teach children is that being good means “doing as you’re told”. That obedience is a virtue, and disobedience is a flaw.

Children aren’t here to be programmed. They’re not meant to follow orders without question or silence their instincts to keep the peace.

When we teach them that saying no is bad, and that pushing back is disrespectful, we teach them to distrust their inner compass.

Because the truth is, some of the most important moments in life require the courage to take a stand — to speak up, to challenge what feels wrong, to stay rooted in who we are even when it’s uncomfortable...

And that kind of bravery starts early, when they are allowed to use their voice without fear of rejection or punishment.

Obedience without UNDERSTANDING is hollow, performative, and ultimately meaningless.
It teaches children to comply, not to reflect… And that’s not how common sense - let alone wisdom - is built.

I once came across a quote that stuck with me:
“Never feel sorry for raising dragon slayers in a time where there are actual dragons.”
And it made perfect sense.

In the world we live in, we need to raise kids who know how to think — not just how to follow...
So they can grow into adults who know when to concede — and when to lead. ❤️

We spend so much time helping our kids fit in —
teaching them to be polite, to follow rules, to make friends, to be liked…

But what happens when being accepted by others comes at the cost of accepting themselves?

Real belonging doesn’t come from being chosen.
It comes from choosing ourselves.

So let’s raise children who know their worth isn’t up for debate.
Who learn to listen to their inner voice — even when it goes against the crowd.
Who understand that the goal isn’t to please everyone — it’s to be able to look in the mirror and feel proud of who they are becoming.

Because confidence isn’t built through approval.
It’s built through alignment — with their values, their truth, their heart.

That’s what lasts.
That’s what carries them through.
And that’s what makes a life well lived. ❤️
