In this heartfelt episode of Raising EQ, Dr. Holly Symons explores how our inner dialogue — the way we speak to ourselves — quietly shapes our children’s emotional world.

We often think kids internalize what we say to them, but research shows they also absorb what we say about ourselves. From small sighs of frustration to moments of harsh self-criticism, our children are watching — and learning how to treat themselves.
You’ll learn:🌱Why kids reflect our emotional patterns (and what that means for their confidence and resilience)
🌱The link between self-criticism, anxious parenting, and secure attachment
🌱A simple daily tool — Reframe Your Brain— to transform your self-talk into a powerful model of self-compassion

With science-backed insights and relatable storytelling, this 10-minute episode is a reminder that the way you talk to yourself becomes the way your child talks to themselves.

Don't forget to share how this idea comes to life in your house!
