Parents agree - It can be challenging to raise confident and self-assured kids!

Confidence leads to success in life. The more we believe in ourselves, the more it leads to our success. And it just feels really good to raise those kinds of kids, right? But how do we do it?

Children naturally feel emotions intensely and our job as parents is to help them navigate these intense emotions. Starting with love and acceptance helps them develop their ability to think about their feelings and express themselves in safe ways.

As we become more confident as parents, we embrace who our children are, rather than trying to change them, and are there to support them more fully.

Showing up is the most significant gift we can give to our kids in order for them to become self-assured. We don't have to fix it, because fixing would then be saying they are not capable enough of navigating and solving their frustrations, and they need to be saved, which actually takes away from them feeling confident.

The solution is on the other side of helping them. They feel their intense feelings and we validate what they experienced is true.

It becomes a lot easier to teach if you have walked the walk rather than just talking the talk.
