36. What are the things parents can do that will help their children realize they too can be HEROES and make a positive impact on the lives of others?
Mike Filsaime: The first thing a parent needs to do is lead a life by example. You can’t be a hypocrite and tell your kids they shouldn’t smoke weed when you indeed smoke weed. Kids are smarter than what parents give them credit for.
Even if they don’t consciously see it subconsciously they pick up on things. A parent needs to live their life by example then they need to let their kid know how much they love them. They need to share that and express that and let that kid know that they are the best thing that’s ever been put on this earth.
When the kid starts to understand that they need to instill the properties in these kids of the laws of reciprocity to know that when you have what you want or when you’re going through that point in your life & trying to achieve what you want you have to always make sure you help other people get what they want.
As you are always a student looking up to your hero there is always somebody looking up to you. So you have the dual role of the student and the hero. When people look up to you as a hero you have to be there for them.

Paulie Sabol: I think that the number one thing that parents can do is get out of the kid’s way. Very often, as you’ve talked about, we want people to be as much like us as possible. You see this with very young children, where it seems to be a requirement to say which parent the child looks like. “Oh, he really looks like you,” as if the child would be rejected and abandoned if they looked different.
This is what is so subtly corrosive about those comments. They come off of our lips almost like blinking, a reflex behavior. The very best thing that parents can do is get out of their kid’s way.
We get a lot of young people who are interns with us. I in fact have a MySpace dedicated to that process, www.MySpace.com/internship. You can actually see a number of the young people who have become interns. Not one of them came to me in a way that I could describe as really having had a perfectly nurturing, care-giving parents.
And I’m not sure that any of us will have that perfectly. But what I can tell you is that when those parents made the decision to get out of their kids way, let them go on this internship experience, let them move to another State, move into another place, learn all about entrepreneurship, and many of these parents were really employee minded people.
This was not a value system that they understood. They only understood working hard for money, not working smart and working the system. But when they got out of the way, not one of these interns has had anything less than a dramatic transformation. In almost all cases, except for two that I can think of, have created substantial amounts of wealth, and in two cases, more wealth than their parents.

TOM BEAL: Exposing them to the proper things. Not letting them watch the movies that have all the violence and the bad things occurring and the TV programs that have the same things.
But, exposing them to the empowering books and videos that can show them heroes. That can also give them hope and give them people and things to aspire to look up to.
