The hardest part about being a dad is pushing my kids into deep waters and heavy seas so they learn to swim against the current. The best part about being a dad is watching them do it.
Fail Often
It's not easy. Since my oldest daughter was born, I've constantly challenged her...and the ethos was "fail often."
It's the exact opposite of what's happening today - helicopter parent swoop in to stop suffering.
Absurdity! Making life easy for your kids will handicap them.
Let kids bump their heads, break their arms and get their egos dented! Hell, let them fail a grade, get suspended, and go to jail.
Invite suffering.
It starts with learning how to say no to sugar. This is among the earliest lessons. Then it parlays into patience, awareness and focus. Puzzles are the teacher...
But once they hit 6 or 7 years old, the real challenges begin:
- Grappling - Weight lifting - Jogging - Burpees
It's not about teaching them to win or lose. It's the failure and the suffering that's get them to the top.
Making Soap!
Soap making is vital in that process, too. Proper soap making was abandoned decades ago for the easier, chemical-rich perfume bars you see today.
Society is weak AF.
...one of the hardest bars to make is a charcoal soap bar with shea-butter. And my kids mastered it after years of learning.
Charcoal has been used since the earliest times for art, medicine, and fuel. It is a gastrointestinal detox agent and is used to treat people who have ingested dangerous substances - alcohol!
Due to its large surface area, charcoal absorbs chemicals in the stomach and digestive tract, trapping them and carrying them out of the body without allowing them to be absorbed into the blood!
The Charcoal BAR Fights Infection!
When it's used in soap, charcoal is your skins best shield against all pathogens! It's an athletes dream bar and a beauty queens best kept secret - it's a moisturizer for face, hair and body!
And you can see those charcoal bars here!
