  Welcome to The Daily Quote, a podcast designed to kick start
• 0:08
  your day in a positive way. I'm your host, Andrew McGivern
• 0:12
  for July 21st. Today is Global Hug Your
• 0:16
  Children Day, a holiday that encourages you to do something
• 0:20
  radical. Hug your kids.
• 0:23
  Yes, even the older kids that pretend they don't want hugs
• 0:27
  anymore. In honor of this tender and
• 0:30
  underrated holiday, today's quote comes from Carl Jung, who
• 0:34
  once said if there is anything that we wish to change in the
• 0:38
  child, we should first examine it and see whether it is not
• 0:42
  something that could better be changed in ourselves.
• 0:47
  Now that's a quote that hugs you right back.
• 0:50
  Gently but firmly. Jung reminds you that parenting
• 0:56
  isn't just about shaping your children.
• 0:58
  It's also about reshaping yourself.
• 1:01
  When your kid throws A tantrum, disrespects your sacred remote
• 1:05
  control, or forgets how to close a refrigerator door, it's easy
• 1:11
  to point fingers. But what if those little
• 1:14
  triggers are really holding up a mirror?
• 1:19
  Hugging your child? A literally and metaphorically,
• 1:22
  isn't just a gesture of love. It's a moment to connect, to
• 1:26
  reflect and maybe even grow together.
• 1:30
  You teach by who you are, not just by what you say.
• 1:35
  And sometimes a silent hug says more than a well rehearsed
• 1:39
  lecture ever could. So go ahead, wrap your arms
• 1:44
  around your child today. And if you don't have children,
• 1:47
  hug the inner child in you. That's going to do it.
• 1:50
  For today. I'm Anna McGivern, signing off
• 1:52
  for now, but I'll be back tomorrow.
