Why Not You? Why Not Now?

I believe in you! Parents, this is one of the most powerful phrases you have in your arsenal.

With these four words you can propel a child into adulthood as a confident leader. Back these words with specific actions and the results will amaze you.
Teach them this battle cry - 'Why not you? Why not now?' I borrowed this philosophy from Rich DeVos and his incredible book Ten Powerful Phrases for Positive People.
I strongly recommend you take some time to study this book.
Participating in Mastermind groups is a great way to propel your life and also teach your children by example.
Your kids are watching every move you make! So make your moves carefully and deliberately! By reaching out to others in a mastermind group, you learn to help others and to be helped! The most productive mastermind groups are made up of people from all walks of life and from very diverse backgrounds and industries.

The amazing insight you can learn from someone who can look at your 'forest and comment on your trees' is priceless! Participate in your children's activities! Cheer them on from the stands, show up at their events and discuss the adventure on the way home! Nothing says I believe in you like your participation in their lives.
And if you are so inclined - be the coach, the girl/boy scout leader, the home where every kid wants to hang out! Each of these augments your child's feelings of self- worth and your position in their world! When you believe in yourself you can visualize the person you want to be.

Once your children have a clear picture they can start to move towards that goal.

Helping them to develop the clarity is a big part of your role as their parents. There are several exercises you can use to help you prepare your children for this self discovery journey. If you are interested in learning about this please contact me for more information.
