10 Things You Should Never Say To Your Children - Kathy Caprino

10 Things You Should Never Say To Your Children Part of Kathy Caprinos series Parenting for Joy and Success In my 12 years of work in the helping professions, first as a marriage and family therapist then as a career and personal success coach, I’ve been absolutely floored by what I’ve heard parents say and do that severely damages their children. In addition, I’ve learned through working with over 11,000 mid-life men and women who want more from their life, livelihood and relationships, that what their parents said and did to them many years ago dramatically influenced their own self-concept and their ability to shape their lives in satisfying ways. It’s clear that, either intentionally or unconsciously, wounded parents wound their children. The critical takeaway from my recent work with adult children of narcissists too is that the words you utter habitually, and the actions you take as a parent, can and will influence how your child thinks and feels about him/herself, potentially for a lifetime. It’s so important to be extremely careful about the process and content of our parenting. For instance, if you’ve experienced pain and damage from your own childhood, you’ll want to get therapeutic help to learn how to better manage yourself, your emotions, anxieties, doubts, fears, and “power gaps” because your children will be impacted through osmosis. In other words, try as hard as you may to be supportive and productive in your parenting, your kids will do as you DO, not as you say, and they will integrate some terribly painful lessons that you didn’t mean for them to learn, if you’re not ever vigilant about how you behave and communicate. I hope you’ll do your child an immense, life-changing favor and make sure you don’t injure your own children with the trauma and baggage you were burdened with from your parents. I’m a parent too, with my own set of childhood wounds and baggage, and I’ve made my share of mistakes and missteps, for sure. So this doesn’t come from a judgmental place â€" I’ve been there many times (struggling to be the best parent I can be). But it does emerge from years of working with people who have been traumatized by parents who, without knowing it, caused damage that isn’t easily healed. Below are the 10 things I believe parents should NEVER say or do to their children, if they want to ensure their children grow up as healthy, happy, balanced, self-reliant, self-confident, and self-loving as possible: Never say: “Your idea (or you) are stupid.” If you want to teach your children to think for themselves, you never want to give them the idea that their ideas are “stupid,” or that they are unintelligent and incapable of thinking for themselves. Instead, you want to help them build their own internal trust, capabilities and powerful decision-making abilities, so that they can work through new ideas and directions in an effective way that will bring them to the right course of action for the best life possible. “You don’t know what you’re talking about.” Again, great parenting is not about you needing to prove you’re right.  In fact, that’s poor parenting. Healthy parenting is all about helping your children address their life’s challenges in a confident, self-empowered way. If you tell them they don’t know what they’re talking about, they’ll be shamed into being quiet, not expressing their thoughts and opinions, and they’ll begin to see you as someone who isn’t safe to share their inner most doubts and authentic thoughts with. Don’t belittle them for expressing ideas that may not be fully baked or fleshed out yet. “You’re wrong to feel that.” I remember years ago, a neighbor of mine screamed at her young son, saying “You’ll go to church today and you’ll like it!”  That’s not healthy parenting, in any way, shape or form. Sure, you may want to instill in your child a belief in the value of attending church, synagogue or mosque (or follow any other tradition) but you have no right to tell them how they should feel about it. How would you feel if someone told you “you better be happy” about something that you were miserable about? When parents insist that their children feel or think a certain way, it leads to one thing only: children believing deep down that it’s not ok to be who they really are. And they sense that they can’t be fully honest with you or reveal their true emotions.  What’ll happen then is that they’ll to stop telling you the truth, and stop feeling that the world is safe for them to be who they are.   And you really don’t want that, especially in the teen years where risky behaviors are all around them and youll want them to feel free to discuss things that scare them. “You’ll never be able to do that.” Truthfully, you have no idea what your child is capable of achieving in the future, even if you think you do right now.   I’ve seen people do utterly astounding and amazing things in their lives that their parents and others told them were impossible. Saying, “You’ll never be able to do that” is slapping them down and cutting them off at the knees. Sadly, when you parent that way, you’ll also be cutting off some amazing opportunities in the future for them to soar and thrive. Don’t YOU be the one to tell them that they are not capable â€" there’s enough of that naysaying and diminishing, critical feedback in the world that surrounds them. Let them find out themselves what they want to pursue, and what they’re capable of. “You’re too young to know what you want.” I’ve seen in my therapeutic and energy healing work that we humans know and perceive things very accurately and deeply at a very young age. We DO know what we think feel and want. So when you tell your child that they don’t know what they want, you make them doubt themselves, and you undermine their belief in themselves, and they begin to question themselves at every turn. As an empowering parent, you want to teach them, from a very young age, to honor what they feel and think, and to respect and work with that. Then, when they’re old enough to leave home, theyll be much more able to choose positive and productive directions, relationships, career avenues, and other important events and experiences that will be beneficial in their life, without needing your or other people’s advice at every turn.  â€œI hate you.” We all lose our tempers sometimes and fly off the handle. We’re human. But using “hate” language is something we have to avoid. Telling your child you hate him crushes his sense of self, and is very scary for young child, and damaging for an older one. Having a parent reject us can feel as scary as “death” because it taps into a primal fear that all humans have of being abandoned. If you’re so enraged and out of control that you want to say something hateful, you need to take a time out and absent yourself from the room and the situation until you can get it together, and speak more calmly, compassionately, lovingly and respectfully. Youre the adult you have to act like one.  â€œWhy aren’t you more like your brother/sister?” If you’ve had siblings, you probably know exactly what it feels like to be compared to your brother or sister. It’s bad all the way around. If you’re compared and come out on top, you feel guilty and ashamed for being more successful, pretty, talented, intelligent, etc. If you compare unfavorably, you feel “less than” and inferior â€" and that makes you angry, resentful, sick and feeling unloved and unappreciated. Each child is a separate soul and a separate entity. Don’t compare them as a way to elicit the behavior you want. That creates conflict and tension, and often pits your children against each other in harmful ways that last a very long time.  â€œYou have no right to say (or think) that.” Freedom of speech is a right that we fiercely uphold in civilized societies and civilizations. Every human being has the right to think and share what he/she believes, even if you hate to hear it. It’s not a matter of “rights.” Your child has the right to think and feel what she does. But it IS a matter of respect, compassion, care, empathy, etc.   If you feel that your child or teen is not respectful to you, then address that head on. Tell them why their behavior demonstrates a lack of respect, and articulate clearly what you want and deserve instead. Set very clear expectations how you want your interpersonal dynamics to go with your child. “I can’t wait until you leave.” I hear this one a great deal, among parents who feel that their children and teens are exasperating and extremely “difficult.” The parents don’t know how to handle the challenges that the child presents, and they feel intense anger, frustration, and ineptitude and they want that pain to stop.  So they tell the child “I can’t wait until you’re gone.” Think about how that’s perceived and felt from a child’s or teen’s perspective. It’s crippling because they’re just doing their best every day to try to navigate their own, very tough and anxiety-provoking challenges in today’s high-pressured world. For their own parent to be fed up and throw his/her hands up and say “I’m done with you,” is frightening and deeply saddening for a child. Even if you think your kid is “tough” and can take that kind of comment, don’t utter it. Youre the parent and you need to demonstrate that you can effectively handle what life is throwing you and your family. “You should be ashamed of yourself.” As Brené Brown talks about in her work on vulnerability and shame, shame is an “unspoken epidemic, the secret behind many forms of broken behavior.”   She shares that  â€œshame is the intensely painful feeling that we are unworthy of love and belonging. Its the most primitive human emotion we all feelâ€"and the one no one wants to talk about. If left to its own devices, shame can destroy lives.” There are so many other ways to communicate that your child needs to revise his/her behavior â€" shaming is not the way to go. Talk about how the behavior hurt someone, or how it’s not appropriate for the situation, or it reveals irresponsibility or a value that you think the child might want to look at more closely. But don’t shame them. ************ Do these behaviors hit home for you? Which ones do you struggle with most? Know that youre not alone. Please share below.

Think about how your body language may impact your job hunt -

Think about how your body language may impact your job hunt - If youre looking for a job and thinking ahead to the interview stage, Im betting youre checking out interview books and practicing interview questions, which isnt a bad idea. However, have you considered practicing the communication skills youll need to help you land a job? Interpreting body language is an important element of good listening. Think about it eye contact, nodding, leaning in to listen all of these help your conversation partner recognize how engaged you are and helps him or her feel valued as part of a conversation. Body language is key to helping you succeed in business, or any field. Body language may be more important than you think in a job hunt. Kate Lorenz wrote about the topic for CareerBuilder.com. She said: Research has shown that the first impression you make on an interviewer really sticks. In one study, untrained subjects were shown 20- to 32-second videotaped segments of job applicants greeting their interviewers. When the subjects rated the applicants on attributes like self-assurance and likeability, their assessments were very similar to the interviewers who had spent more than 20 minutes with each applicant. Seems like focusing on your body language and first impressions matters a lot! I once wrote a term paper about the importance of body language. The quote I remember from it, Dont underestimate the power of body language, from The Little Mermaid, is no less true today! (Yes, I really quoted a Disney movie in my paper.) Did you know that people who are positive and confident outperform their peers in their job searches? Research shows that persistence and a postive attitude pay off in the job hunt. You can always pick out a pessimist by his or her body language slumped shoulders, eyes down, expressionless (or frowning). No one wants to hire someone who seems sad or pessimistic. Straighten up, smile and make eye contact. Your body language speaks louder than your words. In fact, research also shows that body language makes up more than half of how our communication is perceived. That means that you may be describing your greatest business accomplishment, but if your posture isnt good and you dont make effective eye contact, you might as well tell the interviewer about the time you lost your portfolio on the way to a presentation. Another telling body language tool is the handshake. How many times do we have to tell you strong and firm gets the job done! BusinessWeek wrote about several different types of handshakes to use and some to avoid. Eye contact along with a firm handshake can make a world of difference to how you are being perceived. Remember the little things matter. In fact, the little things may actually be the BIG things! Focus on every aspect of your presentation to ensure that you put your best foot forward with your job search. photo by Gerwin Filius

How a Vacation Can Save Your Life (and Your Business)

How a Vacation Can Save Your Life (and Your Business) If you are constantly connected and working 24/7 to get ahead, stop now. These well-known executives and Advisors in The Oracles are incredibly powerful business leaders, yet even they believe in taking a break and getting away. Here’s what they have to say about vacation â€" and how it impacts your success in life. 1. Vacations can save your life. Dave Asprey, Courtesy of The Oracles Being constantly connected can morph into chronic stress that affects your physiology. When you turn off work stress for a while, that gives the creative parts of your brain space to work their magic. Stepping away is so vital to productivity, creativity, and clarity that “balance” is one of Bulletproof’s core values, which we back up with unlimited time off. After some time away, it’s easier to make decisions and unstick sticking points. You can fill pages with new ideas, and communication is more fluid. Vacations also give you time to connect with others, which can literally save your life. Research shows that social connections massively reduce the risk of disease and even death. So take vacations and create dedicated time to unplug and invest in yourself every day in between. I schedule an hour a day of “personal upgrade time” when I do things that help me perform better, like yoga, meditation, brain training, and red light therapy. â€"Dave Asprey, entrepreneur, known as the “father of biohacking”; creator of Bulletproof 360 and New York Times bestselling author of “Game Changers”; follow Dave on Facebook and Instagram   2. Taking a break re-energizes you. Bethenny Frankel, Courtesy of The Oracles As hard as I work, I think it’s important to take time to restore â€" meaning that I work hard but I also like to relax hard. It’s important to have that balance. Otherwise, what is the point of working so hard if you aren’t able to stop and take time for yourself to enjoy life and have new experiences? I was just in Nantucket, Massachusetts, and went wakesurfing, wakeboarding, and tubing with my daughter while I was there. I took walks on the beach for an hour of exercise. I didn’t wear makeup. It felt freeing. These moments away from the grind of work allow you to go back to your job feeling recharged, restored, and re-energized. â€"Bethenny Frankel, founder of Skinnygirl, cast member of “The Real Housewives of New York City,” New York Times bestselling author, and Shark on “Shark Tank”; follow Bethenny on Twitter and Instagram   3. Traveling can spark fresh ideas. Kara Goldin, Courtesy of The Oracles Vacations are so important, not only for me personally but also for the business. The getaway usually means something with my family, adventure, and discovery. We may be whitewater rafting and hiking in Patagonia or walking and biking in London. Sometimes it’s just a blanket on the beach and sandcastles. OK, I might sneak onto Instagram for a moment rather than working my shovel; but whatever we do, it takes my mind out of the day-to-day and lets me wander into the bigger picture. Vacation gives me time to contemplate a few steps into the future. Whether it’s to another state or another country, getting away gives me the chance to see what’s going on in the market and sparks ideas for new products, new flavors, and new package design. The trends in South Korea vs. New Zealand vs. the California desert all add new perspectives to my process. Taking that breath also helps you appreciate your team in the office. Then after a few weeks with four very independent teenagers, my husband and I are ready for any challenge. â€"Kara Goldin, founder and CEO of Hint Inc.; creator of The Kara Network, a digital resource for entrepreneurs; and host of the “Unstoppable” podcast; follow Kara on Twitter and Instagram   4. Self-care increases your productivity. Nafise Nina Hodjat, Courtesy of The Oracles It’s difficult to take time away when you’re a criminal defense attorney. A few years ago, a client asked if I could change his court date because he was taking a vacation â€" something I never thought to do for myself. When I finally started taking vacation, I created systems so I could stay in touch with my work and clients while still having downtime. Now when I come back to the office, I’m happier and more creative. If taking a vacation is daunting, start with other forms of self-care. My good friend Lavinia Errico, the founder of Equinox Fitness Clubs, recommends implementing rituals little by little until they become habits. Think of a simple habit that would really serve you, like drinking eight glasses of water a day or taking 15 minutes to yourself before checking your phone in the morning. Once you have one habit down, add another. You’ll see major shifts simply by making incremental changes in your routine. Eventually, you’ll increase your productivity and understand why taking time off is a necessity, not a luxury. â€"Nafisé Nina Hodjat, Esq., founder and managing attorney of The SLS Firm   5. Getting away allows you to try something different. Matt Clark, Courtesy of The Oracles It was time to test everything I’d learned over the past five days in the “evasive and protective driving” class. An instructor ran out in front of my car, so I threw it into reverse, slammed the accelerator, and whipped the car 180 degrees around like you see in the movies. Over the past 10 years of building businesses, I’ve taken intensive skill-based courses like this one where I’ve learned to shoot, fly a helicopter, fight with a knife, and free dive. I return from these experiences motivated and re-energized. It’s easy to work all the time. However, what matters is the quality of your work, not the number of hours. Unlike easy, mind-numbing tasks, you need mental energy, willpower, and motivation for the activities that have a big impact. That’s why I completely unplug and immerse myself in something new one hour a day and one day a week, as well as five days or more several times a year. Activities that recharge you are critical to success â€" and who doesn’t want to live like James Bond for a day? â€"Matt Clark, co-founder and chairman of Amazing.com and co-creator of Amazing Selling Machine; connect with Matt on Instagram   6. Vacations help ‘sharpen the sword.’ Andrea Callanan, Courtesy of The Oracles I sympathize with entrepreneurs who feel like they can’t take their foot off the gas â€" because I’ve been there. I remember when getting away wasn’t an option, but I learned the hard way that I burn out if I don’t take regular breaks. Vacations have many health benefits. When we take breaks, we’re happier and nicer to be around. Spending time alone or with others without an agenda is wonderful. I love throwing out my schedule and having space to think about my contribution to the world. But as a purpose-led entrepreneur, stopping work altogether isn’t in my DNA. I enjoy setting aside time for my business while I’m on vacation â€" just enough so I feel nourished. That’s when I get my best ideas. I have space, so I’m more relaxed and creative. Vacations used to be about guilt. Now they’re about balance, recharging, and sharpening the sword. â€"Andrea Callanan, musician-turned-entrepreneur; voice, confidence, and success coach, and founder of employee engagement company Inspire Me; public speaker and author of “You Are Meant for More”; connect with Andrea on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter   7. You’ll burn out if you don’t self-prioritize. William Kleidon, Courtesy of The Oracles I’m writing this after leaving a private island in Croatia, where I spent a week with some of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs. We celebrated our decision to connect, let loose, and take a break from the day-to-day of our businesses. While my business is fun and my passion, I need the play and pauses to continue thriving. Entrepreneurial burnout is the real deal. It will happen if you don’t prioritize self-care. Taking a vacation enables us to gain critical insights, recharge, find the energy to grow, and just enjoy life. Working smarter is also critical for success and includes honoring the natural ebbs and flows of life. It’s about the journey, not the destination. â€"Will Kleidon, founder and CEO of Ojai Energetics, a cannabis company that produces products for supplements, medical technology, biotechnology, and industrial use; connect with Will on LinkedIn   8. Daily ‘micro-vacations’ can help recharge you, too. Sharran Srivatsaa, Courtesy of The Oracles I can’t lie on the beach; I’m just not wired that way. I am happiest when I’m creating, innovating, building, and contributing every single day. At the same time, I don’t subscribe to the philosophy “If you’re doing what you love, you don’t need to rest.” I believe we have heightened performance and a sense of joy and contribution when we are well rested and recharged. But the question is, how do we recharge? I’ve taught myself to simulate micro-vacations by creating bubbles of recharging time in my everyday life. That might mean sitting in solitude with a coffee first thing in the morning, committing to regular massages, putting my phone away during dinner, sleeping in without an alarm, or just taking a walk around the block between meetings. But none of that works unless you are committed to integrating them into your life. As entrepreneurs, we need more self-care than just two weeks on a beach. We need to commit to integrating micro-vacations into our daily lives. â€"Sharran Srivatsaa, CEO of Kingston Lane and mentor to top entrepreneurs; grew Teles Properties 10x to $3.4 billion in five years; follow Sharran on Instagram   Want to share your insights in a future article?

10 Steps to Setting and Achieving Goals at Work

10 Steps to umgebung and Achieving Goals at Work 10 Steps to Setting and Achieving Goals at WorkMake goal-setting an ongoing practice.Setting goals at work is an interesting balancing act. On one hand, your workplace goals must helfende hand the company mission. On the other hand, they must be your own. Otherwise, goal-setting is just a rote, check-the-box exercise.An additional complication is that certain companies (and managers) are better at helping their employees set and achieve work goals than others. The good news is that even if you work for someone who approaches the annual goal-setting session as a necessary evil, there are things you can do to get some value out of it. If your manager genuinely understands the power of goal alignment and setting and achieving goals, you have a great opportunity to use the conversation as a starting point for career growth.Here are 10 things to keep in mind before setting goals at work and filling out that goal sheet.1. Get clarity on you r teams structureFirst things first you must understand the functions and interrelationships of your team in bestellung to set workplace goals that will make your team mora productive and helpful to the rest of the organization. In a practical sense, every team serves as a supporting unit and a consumer of support at the same time. Get the mapping right, and you will be able to identify specific and measurable things you can do better to help processes and projects run smoother.2. Talk to your babo. What can you do to make their job easier and make them look good?No matter what your job description says, your job is really all about making your managers life easier. Think of it as an opportunity to be of service. Having a frank conversation about how you can support your boss will go a long way towards defining your workplace goals.3. Focus on what you can control and have a plan for the restFor every workplace goal, there are factors you can control and factors that are out of your hands. Be clear on the distinction, and have a plan for what to do if the out-of-your-control factors dont line up.Imagine that you are a supervisor within an accounting department in a hospital. Lets say you set a goal to shorten the month-end close timeline by two business days. Success will depend on the skill and collaboration of your accounting department (something you can contribute to and control), and on the ability of other departments to deliver critical data on time (something that is out of your control). It is smart to have a plan to coordinate the month-end close with other departments, remind them of the deadline and keep the communication lines open but you must have a plan and an accountability agreement in the event they fail to deliver.4. Think about your career path in the long runWhat is your ideal next professional role? What qualifications and skills do you need to qualify? Which success stories will make you a suitable and impressive candidate? Line up you r personal goals for work in a way that allows you to gather those accomplishments and learn the skills.5. Go beyond immediate tasks and think of the big pictureYour growth as a professional is bigger than productivity and proficiency at your desk Career progression often requires a broad scope of skills and experiences. Add professional seminars and other educational opportunities to your goal list, because continued learning is critical to your ability to expand your responsibilities and get promoted.If you would like to move into a VP or a C-suite role in the future, consider looking at rotations in other departments. The knowledge of how different parts of the company fit together will prove useful and may set you apart from competing candidates.Finally, if you see yourself growing into a management or client-facing role, Toastmasters is a fantastic way to sharpen your public speaking skills.RelatedSet Goals That Really Matter for Your Career6. Get clarity on what goal achieveme nt would look likeYou know the basics A good workplace goal is specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound. Go beyond those basics and visualize what goal achievement would look like. Would it make a particular project flow easier? Would it allow the team to work together more effectively? The image of a goal achieved will keep you motivated.7. Schedule periodic check-insThe act of setting work goals is leid limited to one conversation at the start of the performance period. Any plan must be flexible in order to retain its usefulness, and professional goals are no different. Sit down with your manager to talk about status and progress throughout the year. These conversations can be formal and regular (at the end of every quarter) or more ad-hoc. No matter which frequency you choose, the important thing is to keep the communication channel open, so that your goal plan can adapt to reflect todays reality and priorities.8. Ask for support if you need itSuperstar performe rs in sports and at work dont have to do it alone. Moreover, they know that they can achieve more and do it quicker with the help of a mentor or a coach. If you wanted to get better at golf, you would probably hire an instructor who would help you improve your swing. Your career is no different. Look for allies, both within your company and outside of it, and build a network of professionals who care about your success. Talk to them, ask for advice, and listen carefully.9. Do a periodic comparison of your annual goals with your to-do listSetting goals at work is great for mapping out big-picture targets and wins for the year. The unfortunate reality is that fire-drills and urgent reassignments can make it difficult to focus on the things that everyone had agreed were important. Continued professional education is a good example. Everyone knows it is valuable for your expertise and proficiency. It is also a requirement for retaining many professional certifications and licenses. Howe ver, continued education so often falls by the wayside because of client demands, deadlines and last-minute assignments. If you have ever had to cram a years worth of education credits in the last three weeks of the year, you are in good company. So, do a periodic check of how well your daily to-do list aligns with your big-picture workplace goals. If the two have nothing to do with each other, talk to your manager and take action.10. Track your accomplishmentsWe have all been there as youre preparing for your annual evaluation (or revising your resume for your job search), you draw a complete blank on your past accomplishments. You know you have been busy, and your manager is generally happy with your work, but you cannot personenname a single specific success over the last year.The lesson here is that it can be difficult to recall success details at the end of the performance period. After all, you have a full year of projects to think through Save yourself the trouble and keep a running list of your wins (a simple Word or Excel document will do just fine). List everything from meeting regular deadlines to stepping in to help with an urgent research project, to completing successful client pitches and presentations.In closingRemember that setting goals for work is best when it is an ongoing practice. Do yourself a favor and treat it as a conversation that never stops. Every time you get a new assignment, ask your manager to clarify expectations. What do they hope to accomplish through your work? Where do they anticipate difficulties? What is the timeline, and why is this project important? After the project is wrapped up, have a conversation to debrief and talk about what went well and what could have been done better. Many professionals are apprehensive of performance discussions, but the truth is that you can only get better if you know what skills and habits need more work. Keep the communication lines open, and you will set yourself up for more interesti ng work and a faster career progression in no time.Click on the following link for more professional development tips.When you achieve your goals at work, make sure you show them on your resume.
