βπ DAYS 93 & 94 β TODAY'S TEA CONVERSATION
Build Your Children Up, Donβt Build Walls Around Them
There is something very powerful about the way a parent speaks to a child.
Children are constantly becoming.
They are discovering who they are, what they are capable of, what they love, and what they want their future to look like.
And during that process, they need someone who will remind them:
βYou can do this.β
Not every child will follow the same path.
Not every child will have the same strengths.
Not every child will achieve things at the same time.
And that's okay.
Parents shouldn't make their children feel as though they have to compete for love, attention or approval.
Every child deserves to feel equally valued.
Sometimes a child doesn't need another correction.
Sometimes they need encouragement.
Sometimes they don't need to hear what they're doing wrong.
Sometimes they need someone to notice what they're doing right.
Our words can become part of the voice a child carries inside their head for years.
We can use those words to build confidence, courage and hope.
Or we can unknowingly create walls that make a child doubt themselves.
And supporting a child's dreams doesn't mean agreeing with everything they do.
It means allowing them to dream.
It means guiding them without crushing their confidence.
It means correcting them without making them feel like a failure.
It means loving them without comparison.
Build them. Encourage them. Guide them. But never make them feel small for becoming who they were created to be.
Because one day our children will step into the world without us beside them every moment.
Let's make sure they leave home carrying confidence, not the weight of constantly wondering whether they were ever good enough.
β Today's tea question:
When your children think about the way you raised them one day, what do you hope they remember about how you made them feel?
βπ Until our next cup of tea...
