Are you getting in your child’s way?

Should you praise effort or results?

And are you strict enough with enforcing your own rules?

In today’s episode, I’m expanding on a recent episode (linked below), where we explored how your children build their sense of self, to answer the above questions and more.

I’m going to give you the five areas where I believe you can really help your children navigate their most critical stage of identity development. This usually happens around 7-8 years old, but every child is different, so no matter where you are in your parenting journey, this episode will definitely help you.

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