What I’m Telling My Kids (and Why It Matters)

The Something New Show

In this episode of The Something New Show, host Mindi Linscombe shares the conversations she's been having with her kids that are helping shape their character, mindset, and future. These are the lessons she hopes will guide them as they navigate life, relationships, and the world around them.

What Mindi is Telling Her Kids:

• Forgive quickly! You often need to be forgiven as well. Extend grace to others.
• If it won’t matter in 5 years, don’t give it more than 5 minutes.
• Share encouragement right away. If you think of something good about someone, tell them! People need encouragement like they need air. It strengthens your relationships.
• Great businesses sell experiences, not just products. The Linscombe kids are learning to rate experiences at places they visit, shop, or eat.
• Daily habits lead to long-term results. Micro habits and small choices compound over time.
• Learn from others’ experiences. Life is too short to learn everything the hard way! Seek mentors and learn from their wisdom.
• Steward your blessings. Be grateful for how God has blessed you and take care of the gifts and resources He’s given you.
• Dream big! Grit, belief, and mindset can help even the most unlikely people achieve incredible things.
• Bless others intentionally. Make a list of people you want to bless and how you will bless them.
• Be open to new things and friendships. Try different hobbies, sports, and activities, even in small samples.
• Own your mistakes. It’s okay to make mistakes, but take responsibility for them.
• Learn from older generations. Spend time with grandparents and mentors. Ask them about their stories and experiences.

From forgiveness and gratitude to dreaming big and stewarding their resources, these nuggets of wisdom are practical for families in every stage. If this episode resonates with you, share it with a friend who needs some inspiration for raising their kids!
