How Not to Screw Up Your Kids

Building Children and Teens' Self Belief and Confidence


Listen Later

Confidence is something we all struggle with, sometimes on a daily basis.


But for our kids, who are dealing with new experiences, new challenges, and constant change all the time, their confidence and self belief is being really tested. Childhood is not quite as easy as we like to remember.. we’re all guilty of that!


That’s why I’m kicking off a trilogy of episodes, taking a long hard look at confidence in our children, and how we, as parents, can support them through the tough times and help them build their self-belief.


Remember, our goal is to be the scaffolding for our kids, to help them grow into healthy, resilient and confident people, and I’m here to guide you through every step.


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