Welcome to the first episode of the Let's talk about parenting podcast.

In this episode we find out a little bit more about Laura and Ruth, their backgrounds and what makes them qualified to talk about parenting!

We also take a deep dive into confidence, how and when it affects children, and what you can do to help build your child's confidence. Ruth gives her expert advice from a child psychiatry perspective as to what signs to look out for, if you feel that your child's confidence is slipping. Laura also gives her opinion on confidence from a learning perspective, including why children SHOULD play minecraft!
