 In an increasingly complicated world,  caregivers have to equip their children with the tools to advocate for themselves, their needs, and their safety. Assertiveness is not innate to children. It is a muscle that has to be exercised. A child’s ability to use their voice will translate to success in the classroom, in social circles, in extracurricular activities, and will foster confidence and competence. 

In today’s episode,  we discuss why developing your child’s voice is so important, and how this will benefit every aspect of your child’s life. I will provide you with the actions you as a caregiver can take to strike the right balance between a well-mannered child and an assertive, self-advocating child. 

Give your child the gift of their own voice, just in time for back to school!

Praise! Believe it or not, praise can be a controversial and dividing topic for parents, caregivers, and people who work closely with children. Praise is an extremely powerful tool that can be utilized by parents; it can be a reinforcer, it can increase positive behaviors, and it can draw you and your child closer together. 

In this episode, I am going to walk you through clinically-backed methods to utilize praise in your relationship with your child in a way that maximizes the positive benefits, and limits the negative outcomes.

Summer usually entails relaxation, fun activities, and making up for lost time with loved ones. Maybe your child has a trip to grandma’s on the calendar or a sleepover at their aunt’s house. Maybe your family is gearing up for the annual family reunion!

You know your child. It is important to make sure that trusted adults in your child’s life know your child too.

On this week’s episode of the podcast, we are discussing how to prepare extended family and loved ones to interact with your child. I am going to provide you with the proactive measures you as a caregiver can take to help your child develop meaningful relationships with the other trusted adults in their life. 

Having many different relationships with different trusted adults is crucial to your child’s development; this will provide them with multiple safe spaces, and many different perspectives that will inform and influence how they perceive the world around them. 

Let’s prepare both your child and relatives to foster a safe and secure relationship this summer!
