Frederick Douglass said, "It's easier to build strong children than to repair broken men."

To build strong children, we must first repair the broken men that we are. We must re-parent ourselves and become the father we always needed, so we can be the father our children need now.

There is no shame in this, only shame in hiding from the responsibility.

Part of our calling to build strong children is teaching and showing them how to rebuild and heal themselves.

Even a perfect father (spoiler alert: they don't exist) couldn't shield his children from an imperfect world... they are going to get hurt.

But we don't need to fear our children being wounded... the wounds are opportunities.
We don’t need to fear them getting hurt… the pain is a lesson.
We don’t need to fear them falling down… it teaches them how to stand back up.

We have daily opportunities to teach our kids how to be resilient and how to heal...
How to process their emotions instead of shoving them down...
How to use failure as a step towards success...

--->If you want more guidance on how exactly to do this, here are 2 episodes of our podcast that are recommended listening: Episode 89: Raising Strong Kids & Re-Parenting Yourself and Episode 55: The Demons We Pass On To Our Children.​

The key to raising strong children is providing them the tools & support to rebuild themselves. Then, allowing them to use them.

And the key to providing these tools and support is learning how to use them for ourselves.

"But I don't have anything I need to heal..." you might say.

Everyone has demons. And many men, out of pride or fear, refuse to admit this is true. If you're too proud or scared to admit you have demons, then you've sealed the fate of your children.

The demons you refuse to confront in yourself are guaranteed to pass on to your children.

And it won't be easy. But, the only thing harder than confronting your own demons is watching them be passed on to your children.
