Teaching Heritage: Why Your Child's Family History Matters | Mom2Mentor

Send us a text (https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1931388/open_sms) We need to be proactive about teaching our children important character traits and family heritage instead of constantly correcting behavior after the fact. Understanding where we come from helps our children uncover their identity, drives purpose, and provides answers to behaviors they'll encounter throughout life. • Teaching children about their heritage helps explain behaviors passed down through generations • Schools teach history, but parents must teach family heritage and dynamics • Heritage gives context for certain tendencies and behaviors your children display • Understanding inherited traits helps you address challenges more effectively • Try to maintain relationships with both sides of the family for the children's benefit • Attend family reunions and connect children with extended family when possible • Collaborate with siblings who may face similar parenting challenges If you enjoyed today's episode, tell another single mom.
