SHOW SUMMARY

QUOTES

Jeff on being mindful of where you put your focus on: "What you think and what you focus on -- where your place your attention really impacts how you feel even when the situation doesn't change."

Jeff on redirecting your confirmation bias: "If you are constantly thinking, 'my child can't do this right. My child makes a mess. My child doesn't listen,' we notice all the times they make a mess. All of the times they don't listen, all of the times they make bad choices. If you start to focus on what your child does right, you'll be amazed at how many things they actually do the way you would like them to."

Jeff on the clarity achieved by being present in the moment: "If we can practice being present right now then we have an opportunity to really see not just what people are saying, but what they mean. How our children and our students are, what's really going on with them. We can be present, we can ask them 'how are you?' and actually want to hear the answer. Not what we expect, now what we want from them, but the real answer. And that can make a world of a difference for a child."
