Who we are is how we teach.
“We will not be good teachers if we focus only on what we do and not who we are”
-Rudolf Steiner
The most important aspect of being a great teacher and/or parent is a commitment to being the healthiest, in body, mind and soul, and the most authentic person you can be. Now let’s face it, we are all teachers, because someone is always watching and learning from us.
Self love, self worth and self growth.
Self love is vital. We must first appreciate who are, to be able to teach others to believe in and value themselves.
“If you do not care for yourself, you will not be strong enough to take care of anything in life”
-Leon Brown.
Self worth is a right and we are all worthy. We each deserve to be standing in this space.
“What you think of yourself is much more important than what other people think of you”
-Seneca.
A good sense of self worth enables us to motivate and inspire others, as we teach through our confidence, belief and empowerment.
Self growth is development, drive, vision and motivation. It is vital we are always working to always better ourselves. Be the best person we can be. Know and always believe we have good to share.
The more we value ourselves and are committed to self growth, the more powerful and infectious we are as role models, parents, teachers and leaders.
Children and colleagues download how we are with ourselves. What behaviours and characteristics are we modeling ? Be mindful of what we are teaching them.
