How Not to Screw Up Your Kids

Helping Children with Setbacks


Listen Later

Whether it’s toppled block towers, disappointing test results, or missed goals on the sports field, setbacks are a daily occurrence for our children, and I want to show you how to transform them into powerful opportunities for growth.


This is about raising resilient kids who see mistakes not as failures, but as stepping stones.


In this episode, I will share a practical framework you can use at home, and explain how you can use the exposure ladder templates in my resource library to break down those setbacks into small, easy steps.


This is all about reframing challenges in a way that encourages confidence and curiosity, and helps your kids become the happiest, healthiest, and most successful version of themselves.


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