Your sense of self is so important, and a lot of it is wrapped up in who we think we are and how we compare ourselves to others.

The same goes for your children, and supporting this will be one of your biggest challenges as parents.

That’s why, in this episode, I’m going to explain what identity is, I’ll talk through the different developmental stages, and what you can do to help your kids navigate these particular stages in their life, as well as your own.

So pour yourself a cuppa, find a comfy seat, and enjoy the conversation…
