Boom, his butt hit the floor. I about dropped my coffee cup. My 10-month-old just stood up straight from sitting. He got his arms under himself with his butt in the air like a bear and whipped his upper body up to standing! I have never seen a baby do that before like that. He had not been trying to even stand on his own after pulling himself up yet. As soon as he did it once, he did it over and over and over. This is how my sweet, focused, determined baby boy does everything. This is an amazing superpower trait of my Levi (Competitor) son! He doesn’t just learn a new skill; he masters it. Does anyone else have a child like this?
It drives me crazy sometimes because this also shows up when I am redirecting him from the plant, the cupboard, his siblings’ toys, etc, and NOTHING is going to distract him from what he wants to do! I try to remind myself that focus is so good and powerful, and I have the privilege to teach him submission and obedience while honoring and celebrating this superpower!
I have been thinking about this a lot this week as I am doing a five-day Your First Funnel challenge with Russel Brunson, and it is hard. I am not a natural entrepreneur, and I don’t naturally walk in the focus and drive my little son carries, BUT I believe with my whole being that empowering your child by understanding the thinking style God wired them with transforms families and children forever. I believe the children today are the needed world changers in 15-20 years. Instead of them being in therapy and finding themselves in their 20s, what if they were running after purpose and authentically walking out their call? This is my motivation to learn how to be an entrepreneur, marketing, and all the things so parents can learn this life-changing tool! I am tapping into my son’s thinking style because I am not boxed into my own but can use any of the good gifts the Lord has given! It is time!
