Do As I Say, Not As I Do

Hey there ColorBeams!!This week we dive into the old saying: “Do as I say, not as I do.” We’re unpacking why so many parents use this phrase, even when their actions directly contradict their words.Should parents expect children to follow advice that they themselves don’t live by? Is it fair to tell kids to behave one way while modeling the complete opposite? And is this just a hypothetical parenting tool—or a confusing way to raise children that leaves them questioning trust and accountability?Join us as we share personal stories, raise thought-provoking questions, and challenge the idea of leading without example. Let’s talk about the impact this mindset can have on children, family dynamics, and future relationships.If you’ve ever been told “do as I say, not as I do” by a parent, this conversation is definitely for you.And don’t forget to post the saying that you remember being told as a child that had you looking at your parents sideways.👇 Drop your thoughts in the comments and don't forget to: 👍 Like | 💬 Comment | 🔁 Share | 🔔 Subscribe and hit the notification bell so you never miss a conversation that just might change your outlook.✨💬 We want to hear from you! 💙💜💙💜Let’s create a space where acceptance isn’t earned — it’s given.The Gottman Feeling wheel:https://www.gottman.co...​🎶 Intro/Outro Music:Music: No Games Erykah Badu x Andre 3000Composer: RemdollaEmail: [email protected] Profile: @RemdollaWatch/Listen Now:Spotify: You’re already here—follow for more weekly content📲 Follow Us On Social Media:📸 Instagram: @colorfulsituations📘 Facebook: /colorfulsituations▶️ YouTube: /colorfulsituations🎵 Spotify: colorfulsituations🍎 Apple Podcasts: colorfulsituationsTap the link in bio for full episodes + extras!Follow & Subscribe to stay tuned for weekly content
