The words you repeat about your kids become the story they believe about themselves. In this Deep Cut we share a summit teaching from Chris and Melissa Smith of Family Brand.
They tells the story of how they accidentally made thier own son "shy" , just by repeating the word, and then shows how to use language to build your child's identity on purpose. The core idea: "Language is the fundamental element of creation."
IN THIS EPISODE:
• The "shy son" story — how a repeated label took hold
• "Language is the fundamental element of creation — whatever you keep saying, you're creating"
• How to speak identity into your kids on purpose (invitations, not commands)
• Why it starts with how you see yourself — "the greatest thing I've ever done for my parenting is learn to love me"
