I totally agree with the points you mentioned.
It’s not easy to teach self-worth and it needs to instilled over time. We parents have to be aware, disciplined and consistent in what we say/do/how we react vs the values that we are trying to instill. It definitely takes more effort than giving in to material demands.
And I have to admit that I’m often guilty of worrying for the worst. It’s definitely something I’m working on 🙂

I especially agree with not raising entitled kids and kids who don’t put effort. I very much want my kids to find joy in simple things without turning to external sources for joy.

I’d also like for my kids to be the kinds of people who will be brave and courageous enough to choose kindness over, say, being popular or well-liked. Someone who will stick up for those who are getting picked on.

I love these points and definitely want me sons to grow up as strong men of God that bring light to the World. We are so often lacking in strong male role models these days, I really hope to teach them to be chivalrous and committed to hard work, their families and their God.

My kids are older and I’ve tried to do all these things with my guys! Thanks so much for sharing!

I think these things are so important in child rearing for sure. One thing I see lacking with most people is love and validation. It pains me to see so many people seek attention and love because more than likely they didn’t have it growing up. It breaks my heart when I get to know someone like this personally and they confirm this statement to be true. We have to take our roles as parents seriously because the world out there is very brutal. Thanks for sharing this one with us at Countdown in Style as well!

I don’t believe you can build someone else’s “self” worth. However, I think by doing the other things, the child will have self-worth. I need to be more consistent! I implement a lot of things, and I’m so tired with the baby, I don’t have much follow through. Thanks for sharing with Countdown in Style.
