Listen Later

What does it mean to “succeed”?  To us it means self awareness, connection to the whole, and sharing your gifts and talents.  On this show we share a few ways to help your child find greater success.

1)      (6:10) Send them to overnight camp. Benefits-

  • Give your child a sense of independence that is hard to duplicate in their normal day to day lives.
  • It’s a safe setting
  • They can “shed” their old selves and be who they are
  • There is less focus on appearance
  • It’s a place where children can feel grounded
  • They connect with nature
  • Give them a different set of social circles to count on when one is not going well
  • 2)      (17:35) Let your child be sad even when it doesn’t make sense

    • Todd tells a story of Camryn feeling homesick even though
    • Cathy’s blog- The three myths about introverts
    • 3)      (23:20) “Influence” who your child is friends with

      • Decide if a child/group either drain or fills your child up
      • The delicate balance between prohibiting and discouraging certain friendships
      • Understanding/connecting with other parents
