Both feel misunderstood.

“I told you so” isn’t wisdom. It isn’t leadership. It isn’t guidance.

It’s a power trip.

When someone says it, they’re not trying to teach. They’re trying to win. It’s the emotional spike of being right. It’s an adult who got flooded, who felt dismissed earlier, who now needs to reassert control. That line isn’t about growth. It’s about dominance.

If you were truly steady, you wouldn’t need the victory lap.

“I told you so” communicates one thing to a child, you failed and that's all you need to know. It creates distance. It breeds shame. It shifts the moment from reflection to humiliation. Shame doesn’t build understanding. It builds compliance.

That’s how you raise people who obey or simply submit, instead of thinking for themselves. You are removing an opportunity for them to learn or gain a new understanding of life. They need to understand the why of something. Not that you just don't want them to do it.

Kids who constantly hear “I told you so” stop experimenting. They stop being honest about mistakes. They start living their lives trying managing your reactions instead of developing their own judgment. They don’t internalize and develop their own understanding. I believe this prevents long term wisdom. Instead they internalize fear. They learn that being wrong costs connection.

Same thing happens in marriage. Same thing happens in leadership. When your spouse or your team missteps and you spike them with “I told you so,” you may feel validated for a second, but you just taught them that vulnerability around you is unsafe.

And when people don’t feel safe, they don’t grow. They perform. PERFORM MONKEY, PERFORM!!!

A regulated adult doesn’t need the scoreboard. A regulated adult sees the mistake and asks, “What did we learn, or what was the lesson?” A regulated parent lets natural consequences teach, then helps process the lesson. A grounded partner doesn’t rub it in. They stands steady and helps integrate the insight.

If your goal is control others, keep saying it.

If your goal is maturity, connection, and critical thinking, you need to stop saying that and regulate yourself enough to talk to your kids.

Being "right" isn’t leadership. Helping someone understand is.

Next time the urge hits, pause. Notice the heat in your chest. Notice the ego wanting the credit. Choose restraint. Choose curiosity. Choose the long game. Remember your kids aren't adults. And they will never understand without being taught. If you don't take the time to teach them, someone else will.

Raising thinkers requires humility.

And real power doesn’t need to announce itself.

You don’t struggle with boundaries.
You were trained not to have them.

Most “people pleasing” isn’t kindness.

It’s:
• Fear of rejection
• Fear of conflict
• Fear of losing love
• Childhood conditioning

We break down:
– Why saying “no” feels unsafe
– How conditional love wires your nervous system
– How parents accidentally raise people pleasers
– And how to stop the cycle

Question for you:

When you were a kid, what happened when you said “no”?
