Trusting our children as parents

Coach Ambreen argues parents should trust their children's knowledge of their own abilities. Her freshman son approached high-school finals relaxed and scored high, showing that constant parental worry isn't necessary. Prosperity, she says, is gratitude for present success.

Prosperous day to you. Today's prosperity means very different than it has most of my life. For me, prosperity is now becoming a way of just feeling like there's so much to be grateful for, to understand that this moment right here has really. I've done so much work to make this moment very successful for you. For those of you who do not know who I am, I am a family driven coach and my name is Ambreen. I come here every single day to serve you and provide values and insights as to how we can better lead as parents, become more conscious and really decrease the friction that we have with our children, especially when it comes to them listening and also understanding who they are becoming. So by this time, every single day, I am done with this. But today I just couldn't get myself to do it. And I realized there was a lot of unprocessing I had to do for me to realize that I have so much to be grateful for. And even though things are not moving in the direction that I want them to, it doesn't mean that they're not moving upward. Today. My, my son is actually having finals this week as he is a freshman in high school. And what I noticed about him is he's super calm and super chill. So I remember when I would have tests and exams, I would be all over the place. I'd be studying for weeks, really dedicating myself after the finals, come back home for the next preparation of the next ones that are coming up. But he's super, he's very relaxed and he comes home and he says, yeah, Ma, I mean, I did pretty well. And I said, yeah, you did. And he goes, yeah, I mean, I aced them both. And I had to pause and think, you aced them both. And he's telling me the percentages that he got, the number of wrong, you know, answers that he had on the finals. And, and I thought, man, it's so true. As parents, we stress over the, you know, the tiniest and the biggest things because they're big in our minds. But we have to learn to trust our children because they know far more about their own skill sets, their competencies and their retention than we do. Some of us are just naturally really intelligent. Some of us work harder, remember the information. So every kid is really different. And this one who I was like, he's not studying, he's not preparing, he's not going to do so well, actually shocked me, surprisingly, which leads me back to that point of saying success is defined in so many different ways for every single one of us today. My intention is to cheer you on, to tell you that you are crushing it as parents. If you are doing your level best, and if you're raising awareness and if you're charging towards a better version of you today than you are yesterday, then a whole lot of umbergees coming your way, packed with goodness, amazing vibes, high vibrancy, beautiful energy to let you know that I am cheering you on as X Mom. And there's nothing more that I want you to do than to thrive, to be the best version of yourself, so you can pour back in the most amazing and brilliant versions of you into your family and into your interactions. Peace out, says X Mom. Bye.
