Building Bridges: Vincent Lilly on Connecting with Our Kids
If you want to change the world – start with change at home
Imagine navigating the rough waters of addiction and emerging on the other side with a renewed sense of purpose. That's exactly what Vincent Lilly has done, and in this episode of 'All Eyes on Me', he shares his hard-earned wisdom on forging strong relationships with our children. Vincent dives deep into how kids often mirror our emotions, shutting down or acting out based on what they see at home. He passionately believes that change starts within our own households.
By addressing our own behaviors and emotions, we can create a more supportive environment for our kids who are constantly searching for their identity amid life's challenges. Vincent's message is clear: don’t beat yourself up over past mistakes. It's not the errors that define us, but how we respond to them. His journey, detailed in his memoir 'All Eyes On Me', is a raw and honest account of addiction, recovery, and the indomitable human spirit.
For parents and caregivers, this episode offers practical advice on understanding children's emotions, creating safe spaces for them to express themselves, and being consistent in our efforts to foster positive change. Vincent's story is a beacon of hope, showing that it's never too late to make a difference in our kids' lives.
