More specifically:

  1. They have little to say... when everyone else is talking about how bad their kids are.

  • They're slow with advice... and quick with questions to help kids figure it out.
  • When they want their kids to stop a certain behavior... they stop doing it themselves first.
  • They know they've already learned more from their kids than their kids will ever learn from them.
  • They credit their kids for making mom and dad better people.
  • They intentionally keep their heads in the sand... about things they can't control.
  • When it comes to friends, they choose quality over quantity every time.

  • They flat-out refuse to think like the crowd.
  • They talk with their kids about things like... are you ready? They talk with their kids about feelings!
