Every Monday for the next 5 weeks, I’ll be talking about 5 lies that can hurt your child.  The first lie we tell our kids is, “You can be anything you want to be.”  But that’s just not true.  Now, in all fairness to us parents, our intention is not to lie…that word may be a bit too much.  We say it because we want to encourage and inspire them.  The problem is that saying, “You can be anything” is that we may be setting them up for future disappointment.  Instead, why not affirm our children in the areas where they are truly gifted? Why not give them the truth of what they can be?  

Remember your family first,
