@grangersmith: This might be nonsense to some, but hear me out. Pride is arguably the most serious sin. The earliest sin, the first of the 7 deadly sins, the essence of ALL sin. In the Bible, there is nothing God hates more than pride. John Stott wrote, “Pride is the greatest enemy and humility our greatest friend.” So, that said, why would we tell our kids that we’re “proud” of them? You might say, that’s different! But is it? Listen to the clip from the pod and let me know your thoughts. Should we not take this seriously even in our language? I think so! I’m not talking about genuine appreciation, love and encouragement. I’m talking about self-serving pride. #grangersmithpodcast ep255

“Dad, why have you never said you’re proud of me?” “Son, I have a semantics issue with that.”

strongly disagree. You should always be extremely proud of your kids. They are part of you.

In Mere Christianity, CS Lewis makes the distinction between sinful pride and a word we call pride that actually simply means having a sweet adoration for someone. Like a parent to child.

To be someone who wasn’t ever told by my dad he was proud of me, I disagree. Sometimes their best effort & preserving through something they don’t like & continue to do so deserves a “I’m proud”

I completely disagree. Growing up, I longed for my parents to be proud of me and to tell me they were proud of me. They told other people they were proud of me but never told me. I tell my kids mostly when it’s just us. They deserve to know that we are proud of them. It has nothing to do with how they make me look

I’m 46 years old. My dad told me recently how proud of me he is. Those words were exactly what I needed hear. It doesn’t matter what the root should mean. It matters what we all want to hear it!

My 15 year old was questioning this. He said we shouldn't say proud anymore or proud of ourselves.

My grandmother always says “pleased” instead of proud. It’s profound

As someone who never heard I’m proud of yuou from a parent I can tell you it hurt me more profoundly. So I never miss a chance to say I’m proud of you to my kids. You are way off here.

I like Granger. Think he’s stretching here and making something deeper than it is. To each their own though.

As a school teacher I tell at least one kid every day that I am proud of them. Not for me but for them to know they did well and someone noticed

100% tell your children you love them and are proud of them and they should be proud of themselves as well! He is looking too much into this word.
