In our society, we tend to put a very high value on striving.
\\nAnd it\\u2019s baked into the system.
\\nWhen we get to the end of kindergarten, we celebrate with a \\u2018moving up\\u2019 ceremony.
\\nAnd every year, as the grade numbers get higher and higher, we\\u2019re constantly preparing for the next phase:
\\nThe career.
\\nThe spouse.
\\nThe home.
\\nThe family.
\\nThe bigger home.
\\nThe better job.
\\nAnd it goes on and on until we look back on our lives and say: \\u2018How did my kids grow up so fast?\\u2019
\\nThere\\u2019s nothing wrong with having big goals and wanting these things for ourselves and our families.
\\nBut if we don\\u2019t balance our happiness now with our desire for the future, we miss out on so much.
\\nWatch the video to learn how this mindset impacts the way we perceive the behavior of our kids. \\u2764\\ufe0f
