A short YouTube monologue by Hinesh Chauhan titled "Identity From an Early Age" advising caregivers to shape children's identities early by treating them as kind, wise, and gentle; he emphasizes patience during challenging behavior and urges parents to remember a child's innate goodness.
From a young hbt. Your little people, like, they are the kindest, wisest, gentlest little beings, the best humans in the world. Because what they believe, what they growing up believing, is what they'll become. And so set that as their identity from an early age. And remember, they're going to push you. They're going to put you through hard times, they're going to challenge you, they're going to, they're going to, you know, they're going to make you resist choking them. Oh, my God, are they ever. But don't lose sight of who they really are inside and who you want them to be and who they they always have been. Be kind, be gentle. They are the wisest, sweetest, kindest things ever.
