1581 When Your Children Outsmart You

Growing up, you think you're smarter than your parents.
But what can you do when your children outsmart you as a
parent?


Getting older isn't fun; wrinkles, less energy, saggy -- well
we'll keep that a secret for now.

But with aging, one would expect wisdom to accompany age. Sounds
reasonable. However, parenting is nothing but reasonable.


You have to expect the unexpected and brace for impact at all
turns.


Now that my children are on the brink of young adulthood (high
schoolers) or the college students and grads, their wisdom is
increasing. And mine???


Well, there are days that I feel like the toddler. They are
teaching me about so much. Even the classes they are taking I
took too. Yet, I fumble my way through helping them with their
studies.


When did I get old?


When did my children start learning more than me?


Some parents would be quick to defend their own expertise. Never
can a parent be wrong. Or, never can we fall short of perfection.
"Parenting seems to be the right of passage to
knowledge and wisdom." ~ Kristianne Wargo

But what happens when your children outsmart you?


Now, it's not that bad when they just let you say whatever and
all is well. But when the bull comes out of the china cabinet,
the battle is on.


Children can challenge your knowledge and force your hand. And
with their growing expertise, they learn how to challenge you,
fair or not.


We, as parents, can be quick to fight back. OR we can stimulate
their leadership capabilities.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Stimulate your child's leadership
role!

Knowledge doesn't have to be the "I am right, you are wrong"
argument. You don't always have to be the one who knows your
stuff.


Children who openly express their opinions and knowledge are
fluffing their leadership potential.


If they can go up against you, imagine the impact they can make
on the world.


And who doesn't need more qualified leaders in our world today?


So instead of always having to be right and keeping score as a
parent, let go of your scoreboard and stimulate your child's
leadership role.
Build confidence in your child. Open up their
eyes to their own potential. They have to see themselves shine
under pressure. And yes, parents, we place a HUGE amount of
pressure on our children no matter how hard we try not to.
Refine the hesitancies. Where do they question
themselves? These hesitancies are areas you can help sure up and
support. Because where do we fall? Where we are weak. You are
taking those weaker muscles and making them stronger.
Celebrate the milestones. When we are growing,
both in knowledge and leadership, key peaks will be conquered along
the way. Some HUGE, others so tiny you might miss the pebble. But
with each step, your child is spreading his/her wings and growing
into a productive and influential individual.

This is where you can stand proud as a parent. You broke the bull
in the china cabinet and stimulated your child's leadership role.


For that, I applaud you!


It's not about being the "I am right, you are wrong." It's not
about being the parent who fluffs only their own feathers.


Parenting is recognizing when it's time to pass the belief torch
to your child.
