whereas the opposite is the case.
Having said this, there are areas in which you can set the bar for your
children:Set the bar for speaking from their authentic voice Set the bar for
engaging in daily dialogue with you Set the bar for engaging in acts
of service
Set the bar for sitting in stillness on a daily basis
Set the bar for manifesting imagination, creativity, and soul
Set the bar for being kind to themselves and others Set the bar for
delighting in learning
Set the bar for expressing emotions in a direct manner
Set the bar for demonstrating curiosity and a state of receptive
openness.When you resist setting the bar in a manner that’s oriented to who you
want your children to become, and instead set the bar in ways that
embody who they already are, you teach them to trust their innate sense
of value and competence. From this foundation, they will devise their
own standards of excellence—standards that mirror their internal state
of excellence.WHAT CAN YOU REALISTICALLY EXPECT OF YOUR
