In this brief segment of the YouTube video "RebelRebel embrace self compassion," the speaker shares a personal parenting insight: they aim to teach their teenage children—aged nearly 15 and 12—to extend grace toward themselves. Observing their kids being overly self‑critical despite their successes, the speaker realizes the need to model patience, self‑celebration, and self‑compassion. This reflection serves as a mirror, prompting the speaker to also practice greater self‑grace.

It's something I try, I'm trying to teach my kids is, um, I think we can all have a little room for a little more grace with ourselves and with other people. I guess I just wish people could have a, definitely for themselves, like, and I think probably having my kids, they've got an almost 15-year-old and almost 12-year-old now. And it's hard watching them like be really hard on themselves, even though they're doing really well in life, better than I ever did. Yeah. And so it's kind of like mirroring back onto me, like, hey, have a little grace with yourself. Like be patient with yourself. Celebrate the things that you're doing well, and that's something that I'm trying to be better about as well.
