Confidence has been pivotal for me as a kid and as growing up, and it has stuck with me! It is now something that I teach my kids at an early age, so it sticks with them too!
Perseverance and Determination
The main takeaway kids should know from a parent should be to persevere, work hard, always bet on themselves and never give up on their dreams. My parents always taught me to preserve and never give up. They taught me that I can do anything I set my mind to, which has given me so much confidence to accomplish my goals. I hope to take these lessons and pass them on as I become a parent to our little one.
Love and Compassion
Love has no boundaries. Parents love us unconditionally, without judgement or thought. I am so happy to have gained this trait from my mom. It is the number one thing I can’t wait to share with my family & future children.
Its always beautiful to see kids treat others with compassion, especially those less fortunate than they are. We must also teach kids to be himself/herself and to love them, to love others how they deserve to be loved and to not accept anything less than the love that they deserve.
Self-Love
Self love is the number one thing we believe that we need to instill in all children at a young age and nurture as we grow. And those brought up with moms and dads who taught them just this are the first ones to scream it from the rooftops. Self-love should be taught at an early age.

Strength and Independence
We believe that every kid should aim to be a strong and independent, and most parents would agree. My mom and dad has always been an example to me. Shown me how to be fiercely independent, strong and opinionated and to trust my gut in all things. What they taught me has shaped me into being the good human being that I am today. And I couldn’t be prouder to be who I am and to have them as my BFF.
