A lot of us grew up hearing things like "toughen up," "stop crying," or "just get over it."
And whether we realized it or not, those words shaped how we learned to deal with our emotions.
Now some of us are raising kids of our own, trying to teach them things we're still figuring out ourselves.
This Saturday at Coffee & Clarity, we're going to talk about raising emotionally intelligent kids.
Not just teaching them how to talk about their feelings, but how we handle our own frustration, anger, disappointment, and stress. Because whether we like it or not, our kids are watching.
Here's something I'd like you to think about before Saturday.
When you were growing up, how did the adults around you handle emotions? And how much of that have you carried into your own parenting?
Are there things you're consciously trying to do differently?
You don't need to have the answers figured out. I sure don't.
But I think there's a lot we can learn from each other.
Saturday, 7 AM Pacific. Zoom link is in the community calendar. Hope to see you guys there.
