@modernmindfulparent: Follow @modernmindfulparent for real, relatable tips on intentional parenting “We are raising mentally weak kids… and it’s our fault.” I wish someone had told me this earlier. As a young parent, I thought doing everything for my kids was love. Packing every bag. Solving every problem. Protecting them from every frustration. But here’s the hard truth: when we do too much for our children, we boost our self-esteem while stealing their chance to build theirs. Kids become confident when they figure things out on their own (with guidance, not rescue missions). Every time we step in too quickly, we send an unspoken message: I don’t think you can handle this. The result? Adults who crumble at the first sign of struggle. This is not about being “tough” it’s about raising kids who believe they are capable. We can change this. I’m learning too. 📖 From Daniel Amens book: Raising Mentally Strong Kids 🎙 : @doc.amen Podcast: @builtdifferentministry 💬 Do you agree or disagree?

Gentle parenting is one of the WORST things they could’ve come up with. Gentle parenting a child that you’re going to send out in a world that isn’t gentle is literally preparing them for failure 😔. Read that again….

That’s the reason why someone said “Tough times create strong men. Strong men create easy times. Easy times create weak men. Weak men create tough times….”

African kids were naturally raised with a strong mentality but look we adopted a western style and they are running from it.

I made these mistakes and now living with the consequences. I did what I thought was being a good mother at the time but it has backfired on me horribly

We are raising entitled brats! You can’t even redirect them kindly without them saying you are targeting or picking on them. It’s out of control!

When my daughter forgot her lunch, the school called and asked me to bring it in. When I refused, they threatened to call CPS for neglect. 🤦🏼‍♀️so even when you try to parent the right way, you get stifled.

In the 80’s it was tough growing up and we didn’t have much. So now as parents, our mentality is that we don’t want our kids going through what we went through. We want them to have the best things in life. We never saw it coming.

What works for one family might not work in another family. Do what works for your children. Parents should help children.
