Deep dives

Prioritizing Morals, Health, and Studies

Young Theodore Roosevelt's father advised him to prioritize morals first, health second, and studies last when entering Harvard. Parents often unintentionally emphasize different priorities in daily interactions with their children, focusing on measurable aspects like grades or behavior in sports rather than overall well-being. This can lead children to misconstrue parental priorities, believing that things like being well-behaved or excelling in sports are more important than their health and happiness. Parents need to ensure their actions align with their true priorities of their children's safety, happiness, and character development.
