How do you actually raise confident kids in a world that constantly tells them they are not enough? 

In this episode, I share the real strategies I use at home and in my clinical practice to help children build healthy self-confidence from the inside out. These are the same evidence-based parenting approaches I use to guide parents who want to create calm, capable, and emotionally resilient kids. 

You will learn how to model positive self-talk for kids and how to help your daughter see herself as capable, kind, and deeply worthy.

Here is what we’ll cover in this episode:

• The exact language I use to model positive self-talk for kids and how it shapes a child’s lifelong confidence

• Why true healthy self-confidence starts with how you talk to yourself as a parent and what your kids overhear

• How to use evidence-based parenting strategies like modeling, praise, and reflection to raise confident kids without inflating their ego

• The surprising ways our culture chips away at healthy self-confidence in girls and how you can protect your daughter from it

• What it means to balance kindness with self-respect so you can raise confident kids who treat others well and stand up for themselves

If you want to understand how to build healthy self-confidence, use positive self-talk for kids, and lean on evidence-based parenting tools that actually work, this episode is for you. Listen now to learn how you can raise confident kids who believe in themselves no matter what life brings.
