I know I went quite for a while, but it was for a good reason. If you want to know the whole backstory about what's been going on, just ask me in the comments. For now, I think you'd get more value from tonight's scenario investigation. Tonight's scenario involves a mother, her two kids, and an UNO game on a train. Something happens between the kids and the mother's response raises an interesting question: When Does Tough Love Go Too Far? And there's a twist... Before the train reaches the next station, somebody's gonna have to make a choice they weren't ready for. Join us tonight at 9:30 PM Eastern https://youtube.com/live/8ncVeCjXIo4?feature=share Here's a question for you: How do you know if somebody is trying to make you stronger through tough love versus when they're taking it too far? Leave your thoughts in the comments. After the Youtube stream, we'll come back here to Skool and compare notes. I suspect you might change your mind from your initial thoughts 😎 See you soon, Devin

Yesterday, I told you about a pattern I've noticed across many families. I call it The Reminder Loop. It's a cycle that usually looks something like this: You ask your child to do something, and eventually it gets done. But the task never truly transfers from your head to their habits. So the next morning, afternoon, or bedtime...you gotta remind them all over again. And after a while, you start wondering: "I know they know what to do, so why do I have to keep reminding them?" Here's what I've noticed... The Reminder Loop usually boils down to one of four patterns: 1-Sometimes kids don't have a clear picture of what "done" looks like. 2-Sometimes there's no system that tells them when to start. 3-Sometimes parents take over the task because it feels faster and easier 4-And sometimes, kids wait to see if parents really meant what they said...before taking you seriously the first time. These patterns can look similar on the surface, but each one needs a different response. So I created a tool to help parents spot these patterns before they get worse as your child grows up. The tool is called The Responsibility Readiness Check. It's a 9 question assessment that takes about 3 minutes. It'll give you immediate results, and it's free. Tap here to take 👇 The Responsibility Readiness Check https://skoo.ly/reminder-loop Your results will include one simple next step to help your kid be more responsible with less reminders from you.

Do you plan for the next day throughout the week? Or are you like me and plan for the week ahead on weekends? Of course nobodies perfect. Maybe you miss some days...the same way I miss some weekends. But what do you prefer in a perfect world? Sunday resets or Daily resets?

I've listened to many parents over the years and noticed something you might relate to. Sometimes, after a long day of work, many parents just don't feel like it. And that's what they say... "I just don't feel like it." Have you ever said that? This could be not doing something fun like play outside with their kid. Or this could also look like not enforcing a boundary. What example do you think that sets for a child? What are the long-term & short-term consequences for not doing what you said you would do?

Growing up in the 90's we played outside in the Summer heat. -Opened the fire hydrant -Played freeze tag -Had water balloon fights Many kids today will never have those fun, physical experiences. The real world has always had dangers...but today it's on a different level. What's something you wish your kid could experience...but doubt that they ever will?
