Joel Salatin: Working with Your Kids So They'll Work with You (2023)

Joel Salatin shares some keen insights into getting your children to love work and to embrace your family's vision for independence, entrepreneurship, and raising future industrious and responsible children. Salatin talks about how children tend to rise to the expectations set for them, and he encourages parents to integrate them into every aspect of the family business from the financial and business side, to the day-to-day implementation; to give them a personal stake in the process; to praise their successes; and to create a joyful atmosphere of family labor. This speaker session was filmed LIVE at the 2023 Homestead Festival. (Day 1 / Tent A)

This randomly popped up in my feed. As a 22 year old father of 2 toddlers...i needed this. I never had this type of parenting. This is possibly the best thing ive ever heard.

I would recommend the book ‘The Tribute’ by Dennis Rainey.
It helps with adult children who are hurt by their parents lack of involvement in their lives. God bless you.

I don't believe this randomly appeared ..when the student is ready, the teacher will appear. ;)

The same here. I wasn't taught anything, then it was painful trying to adapt to the world outside of my parent's home. Now I'm married with two young children and a third coming in about a month, and my 2 year old was taught more practical and meaningful tasks than I was taught the first twenty years of life.
The very fact that you recognize you needed this shows that you have a lot of potential and good intentions as a father.
Many blessings to your family.

@@cyborgbear7269 appreciate it. The great thing about the internet is you can find a lot of good wisdom and advice. I know I'll never be a perfect father, but I know I'll always do the best I can.

I can absolutely remember when I stopped dreaming. I still have the desire to hear affirmation from my parents. These are excellent principles to follow. Thanks for sharing this!
