(5:37) So today let's talk a few key points. That's really going to help you allow your kids to fail. And this is a good positive conversation. So number one, feeling discomfort is okay. It's okay. Just realize it, except that this is one that we all do not love. It doesn't feel warm and fuzzy for us and for our children. However, filling discomfort and needing to evaluate it is so important. So what is discomfort, fear, worry, disappointment, and consequences for their actions. Oh man, we've definitely had some of that in my home, right?
(7:01) And I love the second point that we're going to talk about too, which is failing and evaluating allows for a long, a lifelong skill. So failing in evaluating allowance for a lifelong skill. You know, that is one that some of us are still struggling with today as adults. So asking questions to allow your children's own self discovery, that's a really essential part of this piece. So if you can get your kids to allow you to keep those questions, maybe in a journal for them and bring it out when they're going through something to evaluate maybe after a bad game, or they did bad on a test or a project or someone was mean to them at school, or they had a fight with their BFF, right?
(9:11) And I see that it's so important in the adult life as well. So you may be thinking, Oh my gosh, that helps me as a mom, as a wife building businesses. So the third thing is failing helps not to be entitled. Think about this, how many entitled children are there? Honestly, it's difficult to turn that around and not raise an entitled child. We all have those people that we know. And we probably have those moments in our home where our children are acting entitled. When you shield your child from discomfort, he or she learns that they never have to feel anything unpleasant in their life.
(12:29) Don't call mommy and ask you, forgot your lunch. You buy lunch. You didn't bring the gym clothes and you take the punishment for it because I'd rather see my kids feel now at home, in my home, before they go off to college, they know how to deal with that struggle. So just remember that it might not be gym clothes. It might be something else, but it's really important. So another thing we want to share with you guys is how to practically do this because it's great to, you know, set the goals and do all these things, but like, how do I actually teach my kids to be responsible for themselves to fail? Well, the best way is to start teaching them how to set goals. So maybe having them set goals for each quarter of the year, make them easy to achieve. At first, if this is something you guys have never done before, then start pushing your kids to pick harder ones, create a family vision board, you guys, a lesson, listen to episode 28 on this.
