In today's episode, Jenn sat down with Talia Kovacs - a child development expert who helps children tap into their inherent resiliency. Talia has worked with kids as a classroom teacher, literacy specialist, and as a children's resilience coach and has been focused on Forbes, The Today Show, Newsweek, and more. She joined our show to discuss: - How children are competent, capable people - Why we as parents should observe our children to find their competence and skills - Why giving children space can lessen their anxieties and allow them to simply explore themselves - The importance of allowing children to contribute in their home vs always "receiving" from their parents Talia is on a mission to empower children and their parents to see themselves as people who are capable of tackling even the most difficult challenges! Through her three-part framework to resiliency, she gives parents and kids freedom to be themselves, develop their own independence, and deepen their relationship in a co-creative way. In changing how we see our children, it changes how they see themselves and what they believe they are capable of doing. We hope today's episode helps improve the way you see your children and the way you see yourself. And remember, mama - you're doing a great job.
