“It's easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.” - Frederick Douglass

You want to change the world?

Leave this place better than how it was when you showed up?

Impact your kids.

Teach them what it takes to win.

More importantly, teach them about getting off the ground after a loss.

Show them what to do when adversity comes barreling through the door unannounced.

Take them camping.

Teach them to fish.

Dust off the old glove and have a catch.

(Bonus points if you're exhausted from work and do it anyway.)

Teach them to defend themselves and stand up for others who can't.

Surprise them and get home from work early.

Show up to their recitals and games.

Regularly.

(Yes, they actually do look for you.)

Coach their sports teams.

Have them carry their own gear.

Make them compete for a starting spot on the depth chart.

Cook them breakfast

...with extra bacon.

Pick them up from school one day.

Teach them how to change a tire.

Show them nothing worth having comes without a price.

Then, make them earn their keep.

Show them it’s okay to talk it out with people they don’t agree with.

Teach them it's not okay to start fights

...but it's perfectly fine to finish them.

Encourage them to question things that don't make sense.

Teach them gun safety.

Then take them plinking.

Bring them to the mountaintop that is their comfort zone.

Then hold their hand and nudge them over the edge.

Take them to the park.

Have them introduce themselves to kids they don’t know.

Show them it’s actually cooler to sit with the kid who eats lunch alone.

Hug them.

Often.

Tell them they make you proud.

Tell them you love them.

Then, tell them both again.

And, MOST importantly...

Make sure they know they can come to you for anything...

No. Matter. What.

=====

This world is changing very fast.

For most of us, faster than we can keep up with.

Kids have more information than they can process, at their fingertips.

Literally.

Take the reins and show them the way – or this twisted world will.

And I promise you...

If you don't, you’ll wish you did it differently down the road.
