We have a rule in our house: we don’t use the word “can’t”. You can and you will. It’s ok not to want to, but “can’t” is not allowed. I’ll accept: I won’t I don’t know I’m not sure But you always can. We can and we’ll get it done ✅

Another way is to add the word “yet” at the end of the phrase! “We can’t go out… yet!”
I enforce a similar rule at home. Every time I hear : « I’ve not had time to do … », I transform it in: « you did not take time for … ». It took a while for them to realize time is the great equalizer, but they’re beginning to get it. Even Elon has no more than 24 hours in a day.
my gymnastics coach was like this too! best philosophy to raise kids with! although, everyone who knows me will say i am too ambitious for my own good 😂 #TheresAlwaysAWay
