We need to show an interest in what our children value and not just in valuing what they can achieve. Irene Ang grew up in a troubled family. The relationships and love she hankered for as a child was what she valued but was missing. This issue of children who grow up in families where love and care was missing is still present amongst us. Therein lies the need for us to build relationships with our children. In the work on social mobility, we often value what our children can achieve in the long term: education, income and career growth. This is why we hold high expectations of them. But we also need to be aware of what they value now: love and care. Without this awareness, there is no trust and relationships. Then the path to social mobility would get harder. So let’s strike a balance.

When you grow up in abuse, neglect, and abandonment, it's easy to draw the conclusion Keegan Schaefer did. In life, through watching the people that care for us, we draw three conclusions. And by age 18 we have confirmed these conclusions that we then use for the rest of our lives. 1. We draw conclusions about ourselves. 2. We draw conclusions about others or groups at large. 3. We draw conclusions about life at large. Now, Keegan encourages others to face adversity head-on! Listen as he explains where the American family has been, where we are now, and how to be thankful for adversity and grow. How can you be showing up as your best in your priorities so you can serve your mission?

When you finally set those boundaries as an adult, it’s because something was missing when you needed it most. And even though you know it’s the right thing to do for your peace, society loves to remind you, ‘But they’re your parents,’ as if that makes everything better. I’ve been there. And beyond the pain of growing up without my mom, it was the judgment from others that stung the most. It’s like the world doesn’t get how deep the hurt goes when you have to set boundaries with family. But here’s what I learned: people will judge, but your peace is worth more than anyone’s opinion. So a friendly reminder, you’re allowed to protect your energy. You’re allowed to create space. And you don’t owe anyone an explanation. If you’ve ever been shamed for setting boundaries with family, I stand with you. Your reasons are valid. Your experience is valid. And your peace is priceless. P.S. If you’ve ever said, ‘But they’re your parents’ to someone, it’s not too late to make it right. Try this: ‘I’m sorry I didn’t understand how deep that pain ran for you. I realise now that I gave you a guilt-laden response, and I’m sorry for that.’ #SettingBoundaries #BoundariesWithFamily #FamilyDynamics #EmotionalHealing #BreakingTheCycle #SelfWorthJourney #BoundariesWithoutGuilt #ToxicFamilyHealing #ProtectYourPeace #PeoplePleasingRecovery #FamilyBoundaries

WISE COUNSEL FROM ELDERS 1. A rag goes unnoticed until shoes get dirty. Stay in your place; don't seek validation. When the time is right, people will recognize your worth on their own. 2. Don't be overly accessible. Sometimes, it's better to be missed than to be thought of as an annoyance. 3. Keep your anger in check; it's just one step away from leading to danger. 4. Be careful who you share your pain with; not everyone will offer comfort. Some may add to your suffering. 5. Never sow thorns in someone else's path. Your own children might one day walk that way barefoot. 6. Avoid the mistake of joining someone in hating another who has not wronged you. 7. Don't compare your journey with others. The sun and moon each shine in their own time. STAY BLESSED 🙏❤️

Finally after we waited for a longtime to be approved on the market place on Fb... this book is now available. Shipping in USA is 2- 5 days. Parents & guardians,.. if you have teenagers & youths in yr homes that are between the ages of 15 -35,. Buy this book for them. With what is happening to our kids in our schools is very alarming. Even small kids are affected too as young as 4yrs old being groomed & turned to become males whilst males groomed to become females without the parents knowledge. Most of these leftist schs are out to destroy these kids. kids being trafficked into sexual activities across our borders. At a fast rate we are losing more without being aware with what is happening to them or wat they are being taught when they are out there alone in the schools etc Today's youths are in trouble esp here in the USA...drugs, evil agendas, bad peer pressures, drag queens etc God is looking for a generation of youths that will heed his call & stand firm in the midst of all these evil agendas. A generation uphold his word against the evil culture that distorts the Most high God daily. A generation of youths that has no fear of Man but only God alone. A generation of youths that will not bow down to evil culture's demands. Tho God can use any age,....He is more interested in youths. On page 54 of my book,l have illustrated more on this & l quote below. Youth period is fr 15 -35 yrs roughly. This is where we find the most active & energetic people, full of life & ambitious. The mind is still fresh as ever, olways ready & executed. At the same time,..it is also full of anxiety. lt is a period where serious decisions are made which can either tear the youth down or build the youth up. Wen God called Daniel, David,..they were youths. -Joseph,. was only 17yrs when God appeared to him. -David,.was only 15yrs. He later waited to become king at 30yrs. -Daniel,.was only 17yrs. God sent him into capitivity. -Samuel,.was only 12yrs when God appeared to him -Ezekiel,.was only 25yrs when God appeared to him & sent him into exile. -Jeremiah, was only 20yrs old. -Isaiah, was a young man when he answered God's call in 740 BC. -Joshua, was 30 yrs when God sent him to spy the Land -David livingstone,.Only 12yrs when he went for missions. -John Wesley & George Whitfield were only 24yrs when God began to use them at Oxford University. -Charles Spurgeon was only 27yrs when he built metropolitan tabernacle. -William carey left as a young man for mission work Youth period is a golden opportunity. it only happens once in a lifetime. Friends can either be a blessing or a curse. Many youths have either been built up by good friends or destroyed by bad friends. God says in his word.(He who walks with the wise grows wise but the company or companion of fools suffers harm. Bad company corrupts good morals. Proceeds fr this book go to sawy ophanages in Sub saharan Africa. https://lnkd.in/gHVzYDxa
