Teaching Our Children to Be Abundant

A lot of us who grew up wanting, being told that we can’t afford something basic and feeling ashamed, don’t want our children to experience that – so how can we teach them what they deserve, and help them develop an abundance mindset (as opposed to a limiting mindset)?

Jenn says, “The best thing I can possibly do for both of [my children] is to take care of myself. Children don’t always hear what we say, but they always see what we do.”

If you struggle with whether or not doing more is possible, your children will see that. So you have to BELIEVE you can do more, and then you have to ACT like it! If you never act small, if you never tell yourself negative stories, your children will never develop those limiting behaviors.
