you've got to be their biggest
0:01
cheerleader and help them to actually
0:03
reach their goals but then trust that
0:05
they know how they they can do it too so
0:07
an example of that is my son our entire
0:10
lives he wanted to be a doctor we were
0:11
very excited my husband had always
0:13
wanted to be a doctor and didn't get
0:14
that opportunity so of course we started
0:16
Living our expectation and dreams
0:18
through our child and um yeah and so he
0:22
that was always that was always the plan
0:24
and then his freshman year he took a
0:26
computer science class and then changed
0:28
his major and called and was so excited
0:29
and I was not excited and Ne was my
0:32
husband and we were like but you said
0:34
you were going to be a doctor and so I
0:35
really had to sit back and stop making
0:37
it about me you know I just trusted that
0:39
he would find his way and that he would
0:41
know what was the best for him and I
0:42
think if we as parents just try to do
0:44
that and give them the freedom to know
0:47
that it's their life it's their journey
0:49
and we're just we're just there to help
0:51
them then it's going to be a lot better
0:53
than if we keep imposing what we think
0:55
they should be or what we expect them to
