Your Question:
how do i make my kids proud?
Answer:
As a father of two wonderful kids, Joshua and Rebecca, I've learned that making them proud is not just about achieving great things, but about being a good role model and showing them love and support every step of the way. It's about creating a positive and encouraging environment that helps them develop their character and relationships. I've seen how my wife, Susan, has done this by making chores a game and teaching our kids the importance of hard work and responsibility. But it's also important to remember that our kids may not necessarily attain or surpass our own achievements, and that's okay. As a pastor, I've seen how parents can sometimes put too much pressure on their kids, burdening them with their own ambition and pride. Instead, we should focus on helping our kids develop their own strengths and passions, and praising them for their efforts and accomplishments. By doing so, we can help them build confidence and self-esteem, and make them feel proud of who they are. For me, it's about being present and engaged with my kids, listening to their thoughts and feelings, and showing them love and approval when they deserve it. I want to be the kind of father who makes my kids feel seen and heard, and who helps them develop into kind, compassionate, and responsible individuals. By doing so, I know that I'll be making them proud, not just of their achievements, but of the people they're becoming.
