We work hard to guide our kids in developing a strong sense of self and solid self confidence. But the world is full of influences and messages that, as kids age, we will have less and less ability to control. So how can we help our kids navigate these and learn to protect their own positive sense of self? In this episode Erin talks with guest Melody Pourmoradi, who has made it her life's work to teach kids and parents the tools to build and maintain healthy self-esteem.

Bonding is the vehicle by which we form and maintain strong attachments in relationships. This is something we do all throughout life, and therefore all throughout our children's childhood (and beyond), not just in the first months or years. The ways we bond will change as our children grow and they will respond better to different ways of bonding at different times on their childhood journey. Learn recommended activities for bonding (that also benefits your child's development) by age, infants through adolescents, in this episode.

Parenting Beyond Discipline with Erin Royer, MA
Parenting is about so much more than managing behavior. It's about raising confident, capable, resilient kids who are prepared…
With over 8.3 million downloads, Parenting Beyond Discipline brings you practical, research-informed parenting strategies grounded in developmental psychology and real-life experience.
Host Erin Royer holds a master's degree in psychology, specializing in child development, and is a college psychology professor and mother of three. She brings a unique perspective to the challenges of raising children—from navigating tantrums, power struggles, and emotional development in the early years to building independence, motivation, healthy relationships, and the skills kids need as they move toward adulthood.
With warmth, humor, and a down-to-earth approach, Erin makes the science of parenting accessible and actionable, helping you understand not just what to do, but why it works.
Because the goal isn't simply to raise well-behaved children. It's to raise healthy, capable human beings who are ready for whatever comes next.
