We all remember “the first time” we learned something, saw something, or experienced something memorable. That new information filled that part of our brain like a dry sponge and every time after that was just extra.
Based on that theory, don’t you want to be the one to soak up the sponge in your child’s brain? Don’t you want to be the one to deliver the right information or lay the groundwork for how they value and interpret every subsequent memory on that topic?
If you do, don’t wait. With the absolute overload and availability of information on social media and the internet, or their friends who get the information first and feed it to our kids, you better be ready to feel out the right time to be the first.
I’m taking sex, love, drugs, death, disappointment, success, money, budgets, failure, overcoming obstacles, friendships, marriage, how to act or how not to act…all of it.
The law of firsts is real and there’s only one first. As Ricky Bobby says “if you ain’t first, you’re last” so don’t wait around and let someone beat you to it.
