1 00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:05,800 Speaker 1: Seven oh two Weekend Breakfast and Parenting with Mickey. 2 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 2: Bush thirteen minutes after eight o'clock. Time for us to 3 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:13,120 Speaker 2: talk parenting. And often we hear people say do as 4 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 2: I say, do as I say, not as I do, 5 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 2: meaning often the things we say aren't in line or 6 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:24,480 Speaker 2: congruent with our behavior. This becomes very obvious with parents 7 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 2: that kids will often do as you do rather than 8 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,840 Speaker 2: what you tell them to do. Because we, like other 9 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:37,599 Speaker 2: mammals other animals, we learn by mimicking the people around us, 10 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 2: especially our parents. And so this morning we're looking at 11 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 2: how can we what our children learn by watching us, 12 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 2: and how we can use that to teach them good, positive, 13 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 2: valuable lessons. And maybe there are some things you are 14 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 2: trying to teach your kids through your behavior. What are 15 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 2: those things? Let us know an O double one eight 16 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 2: three or seven oh two.

Joined 19 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 2: us always by resident human potential and parenting expert Niki 20 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 2: bosh Nikki. A very good morning. 21 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 3: Too, Morning Gooks. 22 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 2: As always a great pleasure to have you on the show. 23 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,919 Speaker 2: So this morning we are talking about court not taught 24 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 2: what our children learn by watching us tell us about 25 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 2: you know why you want to have this conversation today 26 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 2: based on a conversation you had with your son recently. 27 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 3: Yes, gooks, So I'm actually holidaying down the Garden Route 28 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 3: with ten young people in their twenties twenty five through 29 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 3: to thirty and it is an absolutely fascinating experience, starting 30 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 3: with the journey down. So most of them flew down here, 31 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 3: but my eldest son drove me down here because we 32 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 3: wanted to bring our dog. We're a family who loves 33 00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 3: road tripping and road tripping with our animals. So we 34 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 3: were in the car last week Ryan and I. He's 35 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 3: my thirty year old, and it was just fascinating. My 36 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 3: children hold the steering wheel of the car exactly like 37 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 3: their dad, both of them. If I know, if I 38 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 3: just watch their hands, it could be my late husband 39 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 3: holding the steering wheel. And we were just having this 40 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 3: conversation about how Ryan said, you know, mom, when we 41 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 3: used to drive down here when I was in primary school. 42 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 3: He said, you know that those are the days before iPads, 43 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,799 Speaker 3: those are the days before smartphones, and he said, used 44 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 3: to make traveling down long distance such fun because you'd 45 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 3: pack the lego and all the construction toys. We'd play 46 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 3: for hours. But he said, you know, mom, I used 47 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 3: to sit diagonally opposite Dad when he was driving, And 48 00:02:55,520 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 3: he said, I spent hours watching his hands on the 49 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 3: steering wheel. And he said it fascinated me. I didn't 50 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 3: understand why Dad's hands moved ever so slightly all the time, left, right, left, right, left, right, 51 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 3: ever so slightly, even when we were driving down the 52 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 3: straight road through the carew And he said it was 53 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:26,239 Speaker 3: only once I learned to drive myself that I realized 54 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 3: that to drive straight, you have to jimmy that steering 55 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 3: wheel ever so slightly left and right all the time. 56 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 3: It was this sharing of a deep observation of how 57 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 3: does life work, how does driving work? And he's my 58 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 3: communicative child, he's the one who asks a million questions. 59 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 3: But he said that particular thing completely fascinated him, and 60 00:03:54,720 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 3: it opened up such a line of thinking for me 61 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 3: around how much our children learn from watching us. We 62 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 3: are the hidden curriculum. 63 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, and so even just that example, something so seemingly small, right, 64 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 2: you don't really think of where you put your hands 65 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 2: on the steering wheel is a thing your kids could 66 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 2: be learning from you. But it's such, you know, it's 67 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 2: all of those, it's small and the big things that 68 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 2: children learn. It reminds me everything all you often say 69 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 2: about how our children are always watching us. We children 70 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 2: are always watching their parents, and it seems that they 71 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 2: are watching quite intently. It's not just the big things. 72 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 2: It's even in the way you hold a steering wheel. 73 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, completely. So it's it affirmed for me what I've 74 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 3: always said, that children learn what they see. They are 75 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:55,799 Speaker 3: experiential learners, they are visual learners, they are auditory learners. 76 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 3: We are all three. Of course, some children are more auditories, 77 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 3: some are a visual. But they need to learn things 78 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,919 Speaker 3: through their senses. They don't just learn out of books 79 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 3: of computers in the classroom, and we are the hidden curriculum. 80 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 3: About eighty five percent of what our children really need 81 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 3: to know to thrive in life, they actually learn from 82 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 3: us by osmosis through absorption. We are the marinade. So 83 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 3: think of those lovely juicy ribs that you're going to 84 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 3: clock on the Brier this weekend. In that lovely sticky marinade. Parents, 85 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 3: we are the marinade. And I cannot tell you how 86 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 3: often in the last eight days, I have heard these 87 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 3: ten young people, on a daily basis, multiple times say 88 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 3: my mom, my dad, my mom says this, my dad 89 00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 3: did that. The stories they've come with, and also what 90 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,039 Speaker 3: they learned by their position in the family, being the 91 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 3: first child, the middle child, the only child, absolutely fascinating. 92 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 3: So this group of young people have given me an 93 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 3: enormous amount of hope in the future, and I have 94 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 3: observed how different they are from each other. None of 95 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 3: them have come from a picture perfect background. So let 96 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 3: me give you a little example of who I'm living with. 97 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 3: We've got three kids who still have parents who are together. 98 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 3: We have one child who comes from a divorced family. 99 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 3: We have one young person I shouldn't say their children 100 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 3: anymore because they're between twenty five and thirty one child, 101 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 3: one young person whose dad died when he was nine 102 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 3: months old. He's never known his dad. We have one 103 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 3: young person who's an only child. We have my children 104 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,840 Speaker 3: who lost their father to crime seven years ago. We 105 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:05,279 Speaker 3: have a young man here who lost his arm through 106 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 3: cancer in his first year of university. We have a 107 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 3: number of employed young people, and we have a number 108 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 3: of entrepreneurial young people who work for themselves. So I'm 109 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 3: sitting with a mixed bag here, and every single one 110 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 3: of them is responsible, is empathetic, shows ownership, is totally accountable, 111 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 3: completely respectful. They are communicative. They are having an enormous 112 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 3: amount of fun. There is so much laughter. They are helpful. 113 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 3: They are completely conscious of money and budgeting. They've budgeted 114 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 3: for this holiday. They worked out how much it was 115 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 3: going to cost them per head, and they're living within 116 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 3: their budget. They know how to create fun out of nothing. 117 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 3: We had a day yesterday where it rained the whole day. 118 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 3: They could have gone out, but they chose to stay 119 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 3: at home with each other, and they created fun out 120 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 3: of nothing with a ping pong ball on a coffee table, 121 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 3: with a Fair Lady magazine that I'd brought down doing 122 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 3: the Blockbust crossword. I did not in my wildest dreams 123 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 3: expect twenty five to thirty five year olds to do 124 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 3: a crossword puzzle together. It's been such an astounding time 125 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 3: observing them and being part of their group while also 126 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 3: going off and doing my own thing. 127 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,359 Speaker 2: And so you know this idea of this hidden curriculum 128 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 2: that your children are always learning from you, even when 129 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 2: you aren't actively teaching them, because of course there'll be 130 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 2: times where parents are actually actively teaching their kids. But 131 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 2: even when you are outside of those moments, the kids learning. 132 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 2: I mean, you just mentioned, for instance, finances that this 133 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 2: group have all budgeted. They're living within their means. And 134 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 2: one of the ways children learn, one of the behaviors 135 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 2: children learn from their parents is how to behave around money. 136 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,559 Speaker 2: And you know, studies have shown that children who grow 137 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,080 Speaker 2: up in homes where money is discussed, where financial management 138 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 2: is taught, generally do a lot better in life. So 139 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 2: your kids are learning from you all kinds of skills. 140 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,199 Speaker 2: They're learning how to navigate the world through this head 141 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,679 Speaker 2: in curriculum. 142 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, you just have to watch kids when 143 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 3: a meal needs to be prepared, to see what they 144 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 3: know and what they can do. I arrived here two 145 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 3: days after most of them had been here a couple 146 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 3: of days, and somebody said to me, you know, Nikki, 147 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 3: we know you. You're going to get stuck in. You're going 148 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 3: to be cooking for the whole holiday for these kids. 149 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 3: You're going to be organizing, You're going to be doing everything. 150 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: I said. 151 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 3: You know what I'm not. I'm actually coming down here 152 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 3: to have a holiday. My children know how to cook, 153 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 3: their great cooks. I didn't know about the other young people. 154 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 3: And the day I arrived here, we had every one 155 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 3: of them was in the kitchen. I was not required. 156 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 3: They had sought out the meal, they had done the shopping. 157 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 3: They were all in the kitchen prepping together. There was laughter. 158 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 3: It was just so wonderful to see. I feel so 159 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 3: confident that these kids can navigate life. They've told me 160 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 3: to sit down, They've told They've asked me what I'd 161 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 3: like to drink. They clear the table. Nobody has to 162 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 3: has to ask anybody to clean the dishes or to 163 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 3: pack the dishwasher. It's completely opened my eyes to this generation. 164 00:10:54,480 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 3: That my children have chosen great friends. That's also a skill, 165 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 3: a life skill, to be able to choose friends who 166 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 3: you can spend more than one day in a night with. 167 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 3: They're all still great mates after seven days together. And 168 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:16,479 Speaker 3: that's really fantastic. 169 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 2: And so, what are some of the ways in which 170 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 2: parents need to be I guess aware that they are 171 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,559 Speaker 2: teaching their kids things that maybe we don't think about 172 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 2: that on top of mind, but kids are definitely learning 173 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 2: that behavior from you as their parents or their caregiver 174 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 2: or as you know, an adult in you know, in 175 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 2: their life. 176 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 3: So let's talk about creating strong foundations. We start by 177 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 3: talking our children clever. So those conversations that you have, 178 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 3: those conversations you have in the car, the conversations you 179 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 3: have in the kitchen, in the dining room, when you're 180 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 3: eating dinner together, your children take in a lot of 181 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:02,679 Speaker 3: cues by what you share. How do you talk about 182 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 3: your workplace, how do you talk about your boss, How 183 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 3: do you talk about your friends? How do you talk 184 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 3: about or how do you do caring for a sick friend, 185 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 3: for example, or somebody who's just had a baby, or 186 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 3: somebody who's moved house. Are you helpful? Do you take 187 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 3: round a meal? Those sort of things stick with your 188 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 3: children doing chores together. I always say the chawes are 189 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,839 Speaker 3: the glue that keeps families together. But chaws are also 190 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 3: the best way to teach children how to be responsible, 191 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 3: how to be accountable, how to care for possessions, how 192 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 3: to care for each other. It's in the doing rather 193 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:54,439 Speaker 3: than the telling that your children really get that message. 194 00:12:54,559 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 3: And just watching these young people with their their respect 195 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 3: for property. This is our holiday home. This house is 196 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 3: never left a mess. At the end of the day, 197 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,679 Speaker 3: no matter how many glasses have been used, they all 198 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 3: get taken through to the kitchen, packed into the dishwasher. 199 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 3: They don't leave their belongings around, they're really respectful of space. 200 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:28,079 Speaker 3: Then cooking and eating together shows social skills, teachers, social skills, 201 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 3: Listening to the conversation. How these young people take turns 202 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:38,079 Speaker 3: at speaking and listening and pulling each other's legs and 203 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:43,319 Speaker 3: having fun, just fantastic to watch. And then playing together. 204 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,679 Speaker 3: That's what I've really noticed about this bunch. It's not 205 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,199 Speaker 3: just my children who've come off a base of being 206 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 3: able to play games. This lot play games all the time. 207 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 3: And just watching them, you know, playing a card game 208 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 3: or taking out games and looking at the rules and 209 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 3: deciding if they're going to play something or not. Teaching 210 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 3: each other and the way other children teach each other 211 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 3: shows how they were taught in their own home. Did 212 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:17,680 Speaker 3: parents stop and actually teach their children, and being very 213 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 3: interested and supportive of what's going on in your child's life, 214 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 3: so being supportive of what's going on at school, being 215 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 3: supportive of their friendships, having those conversations. Essentially, we hold 216 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 3: the educational and the personal development space for our children. 217 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 2: We've got Littabo on the line calling us from Sociangubo 218 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 2: whould like to share how their kids are learning from them. 219 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 2: Litt Tabo, thank you so much for holding good morning, 220 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 2: good morning, well very well, thank you, Littavo. Tell us 221 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 2: how your kids or how you've noticed your kids are 222 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 2: mimicking you or learning from you. 223 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 1: Yeah. I agree with that completely because had a few 224 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: months back, like last month, I was laid off work. 225 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 1: So the whole of last month I was not working. 226 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: I was waiting for my blue cart to go, so 227 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 1: we didn't pay, and this month we didn't pay. So really, 228 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 1: on Thursday, the landlord came and he told us that 229 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 1: we need to move and stuff. And my son came 230 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 1: to me and he's only twelve, and he came to 231 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 1: me and say, d can we just pray and the 232 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 1: Lord will provide. And because we are Christians, I saw 233 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: how whatever we're doing when things are difficult in the family, 234 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 1: I also tell them, let's get down and pray. And 235 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 1: he's the one who came to us and say, mom 236 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 1: and dad, I know things are difficult, no food in 237 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 1: the house and we're about to be understed. But if 238 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 1: we can just pray. And that's what I saw that 239 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: kids they look what you guys are doing and they 240 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 1: grow with it. So I realized that he also not 241 00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 1: believes that prayer can do anything. And I was lake 242 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: in prestancy. Yeah only twelve. 243 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, here we see what a beautiful story from Latabo. 244 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:14,119 Speaker 3: Wow, that is really really moving. And that just shows 245 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 3: what children learn from us. And you know, whether it's 246 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 3: whether we pray together, whether we play together, whether we 247 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 3: eat together, we are hard wiring our children for the future. 248 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 3: We are giving them these wide and deep foundations. They 249 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 3: learn from us every day, whether we know it or not. 250 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 3: And as Latabo has just illustrated, the parental effect is 251 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 3: very hard to replicate. 252 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 2: Nikki.
