Successful Family

The number one thing in successful families is the way that they talk.

The worst families are just comparing all the time.

Their conversations have to do with what the other parents are saying, what the other kids are doing, where their kids match up. This family looks this way. This family's going on that trip. This family's buying this camp. This family's doing that extracurricular thing. Oh, well, they have that tutor. We should get this one. Could you believe what that those parents did with their phone? 

They're just gossiping to each other. Gossip is like the lowest form of a successful marriage. 

The greatest families actually talking about ideas. 

The middle families, they're talking schedule all the time. We've got to get this. We've got to get that. How do we become efficient? Where are we going to go? They're talking about the grocery list. They're talking about the chores. 

The greatest families are focusing intently on the vision of where their family's headed and the right next moves to help their children and teenagers grow the fastest. They're talking about ideas. They're talking about coaching. They're talking about mentorship. They're talking about proactive things in their home to help their children develop the best way. 

They're not comparing to other people. They're not trying to keep up with the Joneses. They're not trying to get all the grocery lists and chores done. They're focusing on the future vision, where their kids are headed and where their family looks in 10 years.
