JAVAREE TALKS
I recently had a session with a dad who closed out a busy tax season. As he reflected on the past few months, in our session, he came to realize something powerful. Even amid long workdays and intense deadlines, there were still quiet wins at home worth appreciating.
Parenting isn’t just about what needs improvement. It’s also about acknowledging and celebrating the small victories, the moments of connection, growth, and resilience we might otherwise overlook. These are the moments that truly matter and make a difference in our family life.
As the seasons change, it’s a perfect time to pause and reconnect with what’s already strong in your family life. Here are a few reflection questions to ground you:
What do you love about your family life right now?
What’s one aspect of your parenting you feel proud of?
What’s one “I am” statement that feels true and expansive for you? For example, 'I am a patient and loving father', or 'I am a role model for my children’
What strength do you bring to your role as a dad?
What do you appreciate most about your child(ren) right now?
What would it be if you told yourself one encouraging thing today as a parent?
When we ground ourselves in what’s going well, we strengthen our ability to stay connected, patient, and hopeful even when challenges arise. This practice doesn’t ignore the complex parts. It simply reminds us that growth is already happening.
Take five minutes today to answer one of these questions for yourself. If you'd like, share your reflection with me by replying to this email. By doing so, you're not only sharing your journey but also becoming part of a supportive community. I’d love to hear what’s coming up for you.
GOOD ON SOCIAL
MONEY MOVES
One of the most important things a dad can do for a family is take control of his finances. Tracking your income, spending, and investments provides peace of mind and relief, setting a strong foundation for your family’s future.
