Do you remember how they say you are the sum of the 5 people you are spending most of your timqae with? The sum of the 5 places you are spending most of your time in? The sum of the 5 things you are doing most of your time?
Think (and feel) about it. Isn’t it applying to your kids too?
The sum of the “most 5s” – people, places, activities, characters, movies, stories, physical or imaginar – of your kids is what defines them. Now and later. They may change, yet their “stamp” remains.
Do you want your kids “be” a certain way? Make sure they spend most of their time with that kind of persons, in that kind of places, doing that kind of activities you’d like them to be and do.
If your kids spend most of the time with other kinds of “most 5s”, don’t expect them to be (very) different.
And … you may also listen to them, see what they are naturally gifted at being and doing – they are experessing their choices all the time, naturally. And then it’s actually your choice to encourage them to actually be and do what their “most 5s” promt you to.
