Lesson Highlights

Reflection Question: How well do you teach your children to love themselves?

• Understanding that we love others only as well as we love ourselves
• Recognizing that our children learn self-love not only from the love we show them, but from how they see us treat ourselves
• Exploring how accepting disrespect or neglecting our body and health sets a standard our children may follow
• Reflecting on three areas of self-love:
  • Taking good care of our body and health
  • Surrounding ourselves with people who show us love and respect, and showing our children how to love others
  • Valuing our time and making space to connect with our soul’s purpose
• Applying a three-step practice:
  • Asking ourselves in what areas we could improve our self-love
  • Making a plan and writing down the steps we will take
  • Taking action right away, and letting our children know that we are raising the standard because we love ourselves and want to teach them to do the same

Lesson Description

The kabbalists teach that we can only love others as well as we love ourselves, and our children learn that standard by watching us. Join Michael Ordoñez as he explores how our own self-love shapes the way our children will one day love their partners, their children, and their neighbors, and how raising our standard can become one of the greatest gifts we give them.
