So proud of you pro#
The more we search for something, the more likely we’ll find it. Look for reasons to say, “I am proud of you…” to your kids and follow through on it.Ĭlick the following links if you are interested in learning more about All Pro Dad Chapters, finding one in your area, or learning how we can partner with you to start one at your child’s school. When they interact with their siblings or friends, be on the lookout for acts of kindness. When they are practicing an instrument, find their improvement. When they play sports, look for the good. One of the best ways to let your kids know you are proud of them more often is to intentionally catch them doing something good. The more we search for something, the more likely we’ll find it. “That was a tough situation, but you handled it really well!”.“You are very mature for a _-year-old kid.”.“How did you know that answer? That’s amazing.“You must be the fastest kid on your team!”.“It makes me proud to say, ‘That’s my son/daughter!'”.“You’re showing great leadership (at school, on your team)!”.You have made us feel proud earlier and once again you are going to do so. “That was hard work, but you finished the job!” -Just believe in yourself and never forget we believe in you too.“You did a great job cleaning your room!”.How great would it be if we did the pride exercise on a regular basis? Here are 10 ways to say “I am proud of you.”
Sometimes the busyness of life works against us and we don’t realize we could encourage our kids more. But part of me wonders, as great as this exercise is, how often do we do this when we are not at an All Pro Dad chapter meeting? Do we let our kids know we are proud of them enough? If we only do it once a month, then the answer is no. The pride exercise is the highlight of each breakfast and one of the foundational pieces at each monthly All Pro Dad chapter meeting.Įvery single dad and kid at the breakfasts loves it. Their reactions are priceless, and my kids have the exact same response. They perk up, their eyes wide open in anticipation as their dad shares why he’s proud. As each dad takes his turn going around the table speaking about his kids and what he’s proud of, I watch his kids. Each month, my kids and I have breakfast with a group of other dads and their kids.
