“I had to unlearn some things.” For Neicee Sweet, raising a highly capable kid started with learning to listen.

💙 When Neicee moved from Las Vegas to Georgia with her daughter, Kendall, she was looking for a fresh start. Through Raising Highly Capable Kids, she found a community—but she also found a new way to approach parenting. One lesson changed everything: “I used to always tell [Kendall] to be quiet. I learned to listen to my daughter.” Instead of making assumptions, Neicee began asking Kendall what she needed and how she could support her. She gave her daughter room to speak. Room to make choices. Room to build confidence. And Kendall noticed. “My mom is a lot nicer and a lot more patient.” That’s the power of Raising Highly Capable Kids. When parents have the tools to listen, encourage, and connect, children have more opportunities to discover their voice, build confidence, and grow into the people they’re capable of becoming. For Neicee, RHCK changed more than the way she parented. It helped her find community and build a stronger foundation for her family. “No matter how good of a parent you are, you can always be better.” Read Neicee’s story: https://foropportunity.org/stories/i-had-to-unlearn-some-things-neicees-journey-to-more-intentional-parenting/ #GeorgiaCenterForOpportunity #GCO #RHCK #RaisingHighlyCapableKids #StrongerFamilies #FamilyFlourishing #Parenting #ParentingJourney #CommunityImpact
