The Power of Encouragement and Belief
Brett Favre's father's unwavering belief in his son's ability to redeem himself after a bad game serves as a powerful example of the positive impact encouragement and belief can have on a child. By consistently expressing our belief in our children's abilities and letting them know that we see their potential, we can help foster their self-confidence and inspire them to strive for excellence in their pursuits.
The Importance of Direct Communication
The podcast emphasizes the significance of direct communication between parents and children. Instead of waiting for a later time or assuming that our children know how we feel about them, it is crucial to regularly express our admiration, love, and pride to them directly. By being open and vocal about our support, our children will feel valued, understood, and motivated to continue their endeavors, knowing that we are their biggest fans.
"You can’t wait until you’re on your deathbed to let them know how you feel about them. You can’t wait until you’re dead and gone and they go through your stuff and find the news clippings you kept and finally see that you were proud of them. You can’t just hope they overhear you saying it to someone else. You can’t just assume they know."
Ryan tells us why we can't wait to tell our kids how we feel about them, on today's Daily Dad Podcast.
