How to Raise Successful Kids—Without Over-Parenting
“…My kids aren’t bonsai trees. They’re wildflowers of an unknown genus and species and it’s my job to provide a nourishing environment, to strengthen them through chores, and to love them so they can love others and receive love—and the college, the major, the career, that’s up to them. My job is not to make them become what I would have them become, but to support them in becoming their glorious selves.
1. Building the habits, mindset, skillset, wellness to be successful rather than imposing a “checklisted childhood” When my kids started pre-K to early grade school, my goal was never to see them in the honor roll. This was a bit tricky considering I enrolled them in the big school where I was constantly top of my class. But I never told my children this and I never cared that my children were not in the honor roll in their early years.
As my children entered big school, I exposed them to various hobbies and sports. Meagan’s first sport was actually baseball. She at one point enjoyed makeup then modelling—which then expanded to fashion design, when she actually designed one of the girl shoes we produced. She worked hard as a basketball player in Grade 4 and eventually won her first team championship in MISA at Grade 6. It was never about seeing her excel at something.
