Ok..I’m certainly not an Oprah fan but I have occasionally enjoyed the insights of one of her “friends”, Rabbi Shmuley Boteach. The Rabbi recently offered up an excellent reflection on parenting entitled “Six Values for Raising Outstanding Children” – You can read the entire article by clicking HERE.
- Stop asking your child what he wants to do with his life—start asking who he wants to be.
- Stop speaking to your child about a career—talk instead about a calling.
- Stop focusing on grades and start focusing on intellectual curiosity.
- Stop speaking to your kids about happiness—start speaking instead about purpose.
- Stop emphasizing friends—start emphasizing family.
- Stop speaking to your kids about attention—start focusing them on love.
