In this short episode of our weekly podcast, we’re diving into how affirmations can be a gentle, effective way to support your child’s self-esteem and emotional growth—especially during the ups and downs of family life, toddler tantrums, or even power struggles with a neurodivergent child.

By the time you finish listening, you’ll know:

🔹 How to create realistic and meaningful positive statements that truly resonate—supporting both anxiety & emotions in everyday parenting

🔹 How to give specific, genuine feedback that deepens your parent-child connection and helps end the yelling cycles by focusing on strengths
