This is a YouTube video titled "Identity In Family | Scott Donnell" containing a discussion between Scott Donnell and another speaker about the importance of giving children a strong family identity to prevent them from seeking it elsewhere, especially in online spaces like social media and YouTube. The conversation highlights the challenges modern children face in forming their identity in the digital age, emphasizing the role of family roots and storytelling.

If you don't give your kids an identity of what it means to be in your family, they will find that identity somewhere else in the world. In the last 10 years, it's shifted. There's so much.
Popularity of social media, text group chats.
YouTube channels. Teenagers are hunting for identity, and either you give them the roots in your family and identity, or they're gonna find it somewhere else. And it's probably.
Not even their friends or a coach. It's going to be online.
That is a wild thought for today. But if you ask most children, what do you want to be when you grow up?
Most of them.
Say famous online. YouTuber.
Tik Toker.
Or whatever it is. Yeah.
Or they say something that their because that's all they know. But the goal here is like we have to give kids roots and wings. You give them roots in your home.
Strong identity.
Of who they are, what.
It means to carry on your last name, and you tell that through stories.
Principle-Based stories.
