    Whilst as a parent it's understandable why you wouldn't want to let your child quit. I think there was a valuable lesson for Uriah to understand the implications of quitting. He learnt that the decisions he makes can impact his growth. In the long run, if he was forced to continue Hockey the lesson wouldn't have hit the same. I think he'll have a new sense of perseverance and accountability after this. You're doing a great job Beleaf

    I just want to say you and your wife are tremendously amazing parents. The way your son is able to clearly articulate his thoughts is a testament to his upbringing. He recognizes the value of pushing through adversity and not quitting but knowing he needs your help in this area. What self-awareness and maturity ❤ Great job you all! May the Lord continue to guide and bless your steps. ❤

  • @cartoonhigh9990
    @cartoonhigh9990 Před měsícem +31

    Can’t quite articulate how amazing it is to see fully Black kids do things like this. This family does not limit their kids by saying “This is white people s**t.” or “Black people don’t do that.” Your kids are playing hockey, a white dominated sport, with great confidence. They’re being homeschooled so you can have control of their education. You show them a lot of love and empathy so they know how to treat people when they grow up. Idk, this family makes me happy. I love seeing Black people live high quality lives. Not everything is hood, rap and basketball. You can love your culture and show off your Blackness in other ways. And this family proves it.

  • @khaily6645
    @khaily6645 Před měsícem +16

    This just warms my heart to see how much effort and focus you all put in your family and how you all are taking the time to sit down and speak with their children to have these conversations. Many children don't get the opportunity to have their parents or caretaker to take the time to speak with them. This is setting an example of how you can raise assertive children who are happy and are able to overcome their anxieties and worries because you all are giving them the skills and platforms to do so.
    I believe that all children are deserving of loving and caring parents. I hope people watch these videos and learn what it takes to be caring, loving, and supporting parents.

    This video hit me in my soul. My 5yo son gave up on his first season of hockey. The kids were bigger ,faster and more skilled than he was and he never caught up. He stopped playing games in the middle of the season. By the end of season we couldn’t get him out of the car at the rink. I really struggled with how much I should be pushing him. This video gives me hope that this season experience does not determine his future successes… and what he needs is supportive parents. Thank you so much for sharing.

    Love the support the entire family provides with all of their endeavors. They just have to try and eventually they’ll improve. I was competitive at a collegiate and amateur level and two of the things that caused thinking traps were when my coach asked me if I was ready and are you sure. I’d rather you pump me up and help me visualize than cause me to start feeling anxious. Just a thought as they continue to compete. You’ll start to see a difference in their confidence.

    Now, in my late 40s I can see how my Mom’s concern about upsetting me turned me into someone who quit a lot. I started really thinking about that when I would see Alicia Keys or HER play their instruments so effortlessly. I started piano very early but as soon as my friends left I followed the crowd. I’m not a parent but the first thing I would adopt would be that my children would not be allowed to quit anything they chose to partake in. They would have to follow through. They must follow through until the end of the season.
