Ep 28 | Questions That Will Help Your Kids Develop Response-Ability

Responsibility is best understood as response-ability.

When we develop responsibility and work towards managing our own behavior and emotions, we develop the ability to formulate thoughtful and intentional responses to the unforeseen events, problems, circumstances, and undesirable behavior from the people around us.

When we lack responsibility, we lack the ability to respond, leaving us with only the ability to react.

Reactions lack thoughtfulness, intentionality, and vision. They relegate our behavior to serve as a reflection of our immediate surroundings and circumstances, and we'll end up being a slave to the emotions that those circumstances produce in us.

Join Brian and Katie as they discuss the role and necessity of responsibility, and what they consider to be absolutely essential questions to routinely ask your kids in an effort to help them become more responsible.
