Arlo the dinosaur’s dad.
He pushed his son, Arlo – hard!
He wanted Arlo to grow up strong.
I can relate.
I push my daughter Izobel hard.
Because I want Izobel to grow up strong, too.
Too Hard.
Arlo the dinosaur’s dad sometimes pushed Arlo too hard.
Though he did recognise this.
And he apologised to Arlo.
I can relate.
Because I sometimes push Izobel too hard.
I demand too much.
And I apologise to Izobel.
Strengths and Weaknesses.
Arlo the dinosaur’s dad knew his own strengths.
But Arlo the dinosaur’s dad knew Arlo could be far stronger than he ever was.
I can relate.
I know Izobel can be so much better than me.
Because she is so amazing.
And because I know how weak I am at so many things.
Belief.
Arlo the dinosaur’s dad wanted Arlo to see what he saw in him.
And to believe in himself.
All.
That.
Potential.
I can relate.
Because I want Izobel to believe in herself too.
I want Izobel to chase her potential, hard.
And that’s why I relate to the 5 words Arlo the dinosaur’s dad said.
30 seconds onto this 80 second clip.
It’s also a reminder how important it is to say important things to important people.
Today.
And if you watch the full 80 seconds.
You’ll see why.
