Choosing what is right over what is easy will always be a challenge - but you have to do it anyway👇 Managing a 6-year-old as a new parent - I often resort to easy over what is right. Be it explaining something to him or getting him to do something without me helping him But I always see that taking the easy route always comes back as another problem later with him So I tried the hard and right way, and trust me it wasn't easy - spending the extra time and last ounce of patience to do things right. By prioritizing what is right over what is easy, we build trust, credibility, and respect—both within our family, our organizations and in society at large. By doing so I set a positive example for others to follow and contribute to a culture of integrity and accountability. Let us embrace the challenges that come with prioritizing what's right, knowing that our actions have the power to make a difference and inspire positive change. #change #doingitright #leadershipqualities
I love this! When it comes to parenting and kids, no kid is the same (I have 3 so I know) and we always make mistakes as parents (we are human too and we were not born with a manual on how to do it, and we only had very limited examples in our life...) so your journey with this makes so much sense and courage! Thanks for sharing Srivatsan (He/Him)! Your son is lucky to have you!
I’d say ALWAYS do what is right and honorable - then your son can make the right choices too! And honesty, truthfulness, integrity (doing good when no one else is looking) 👀 will always lead to a better life - and one that gets to #choosejoy You’re doing great Srivatsan (He/Him)
Being a parent is truly the hardest, yet most rewarding job. Always remember...this, too shall pass...and you are not alone.

DO GOOD. WORK HARD. CRUSH GOALS. HAVE FUN.
8moHa! I totally related to this post. When my son was born, my aunt said never to baby talk my children because then later I would have to work harder to help them unlearn that language and learn how to communicate. She's an awesome mom, so I took her advice. When my son would ask why questions, I never gave the "that's how it is" or "because I said so" kind of responses. As a result, I raised very intelligent children. When they were smart enough and articulate enough [tweens/teens] to counter my points, I often wondered why I made it hard myself. 😂 I don't regret it. I have grown children that are intelligent, compassionate, and can see the forest through the trees. Parenthood is exhausting. Choosing the "what is right over what is easy" is liking sowing seeds that you will harvest much later.
