0:00.0 | So I have been around Amy and her kids so much. And what I really like about watching you guys is that you teach lessons every single day, but you teach them in a way that the kids can remember them again. And it's really cool to see because we have been through situations where they're tricky, they're challenging, there's fighting, there's big uproars, there's a lot of noise, there's a lot of fighting. And then the next time I'm not saying it's perfect. Not that it's never going to happen again, but you can tell that your kids remember what you have said. Our kids remember the things that you have said. |
0:34.4 | I'm Amy. And I'm Abby. And as women, we are constantly comparing ourselves to others. But your life isn't |
0:43.0 | supposed to look like hers. Being your best self means standing firm in your decisions and always |
0:48.8 | being willing to grow with a purpose. We get vulnerable and real with an honest look into the challenges and triumphs we all face. |
0:57.1 | Every woman listening gets the opportunity to choose what life looks like for herself. |
1:06.3 | Hi guys and welcome back. Today we are going to do an episode where we took all of these questions |
1:12.8 | that you guys asked and we're just going to answer them. So in the beginning, there might be |
1:17.8 | some more serious ones in the end, maybe a little bit more lighthearted. We're just going to see |
1:23.2 | where it goes and how many we can get to. So one of the first ones was how do you help your kids |
1:30.3 | develop a tolerance for discomfort when they're learning new things. Gosh, I think the biggest thing that |
1:37.1 | comes up for me is as a parent, the patience is, it needs to be key. Because as somebody who doesn't |
1:43.7 | have a lot of patience with the learning phase of it for myself, for myself, always have been that way. When I was little, it was that way. Even right now, if I make a mistake, I'm really hard on myself. And then I don't want to pass it on to my kids. I know how terrible it feels. So I think about that quite a bit of, okay, they are learning, it's going to take longer. Some things, if we are in a rush, I will, I'm going to be |
1:45.5 | honest here, be like, you know what, we're going to work on this one a little bit later, but then make actual time for it and know that the next time we can't just keep on saying that in the morning, especially with right now I'm thinking about just teaching Owen how to put clothes on. It'd be so much easier, obviously, to just put his clothes on every single time. Same thing with using a spoon. With the bigger kids, things like math and reading, it's so much easier to step in and just say, this is the word. But you do have to take a time a little bit. I really love the things they're good at. Yes. And yes. My mom will always say she was good at everything she did. And I'm like, |
2:36.3 | because I didn't do the things that I wasn't good at. So we're learning. I think for me, it's just |
2:41.4 | truly when you go and let's talk about sports, you're not always going to be the best one on the team, |
2:48.0 | but your effort really matters. So even if you're not the best, |
2:52.3 | you still have to show up and try. And that might be sticking with the sport where you're not |
2:57.2 | the star. You have to learn that, you know, that's not always the role that you're going to be |
3:02.1 | able to play, but there is a role for you. So I think you teach them like we show up, we show up with a good attitude, |
3:09.5 | we shake hands when we lose. Sports are a really good metaphor for life. And that's one reason we |
3:15.4 | really like them. It's just a constant lesson in showing up even when you're not the best, |
3:21.2 | even when you lose, even when you lose by a lot, like, you just |
