Parents are persons too

article image placeholderAcknowledging our parents dreams
You know, one of the things I think we need to I wish I had have taught my kid is that we have to learn to see our parents as persons, not as parents. We're trying to exercise control and blah, blah, blah, but that we're actually human beings. We're actual persons, that we have hopes and dreams, and that we have hopes and dreams for ourselves, as well as having hopes and dreams for our kids

We owe it to our parents and grand parents to see them, hear them and acknowledge them as persons not just as parents

The honesty and humbleness of my parents helped me

It's about being supportive of your kids or in my parents case, kid, my parents were very honest and open and humble about their mistakes and their lack of knowing it all. And because of that, it made me I think a better adult, and it made it a lot easier to come to my parents when I made mistakes, to ask my parents for support and be more honest with my parents because I could tell from a very young age were very honest with me

Great insights & note more than ever we need what you spoke of...

Izzy, thank you so much for dropping in and sharing your voice. It's a very interesting takeaway you have of your history with your parents. Good deal. Fantastic. I'm speaking about this from the other side of having adult children. Sometimes we don't see them that they have dreams, that they have things that they're trying to achieve. When you talk about humility. Good gravy. It sounds like you've got some humility
