Parent's Talk with Francine Juhlin

Welcome to Parents Talk, the podcast focused on raising strong, confident kids today so we don’t have to fix what was broken later in life.

I’m your host, Francine Juhlin, founder of The Confidence Club for Kids. Each episode brings thoughtful conversations and practical guidance to help parents support their children’s emotional growth, confidence, and personal development.

In this episode, we are joined by Alice Chu, a Peace Corps volunteer who shares her experience teaching children in North Macedonia. Alice reflects on the lessons she learned along the way and how those experiences shaped her approach to teaching life skills to kids today.

The conversation also focuses on supporting introverted children. Alice explains how traits like enjoying quiet time, needing space after busy days, and taking longer to warm up socially are not weaknesses, but strengths. She shares simple ways parents can better understand these behaviors and help their children feel confident being themselves.

This episode is a gentle reminder of the power of patience, reflection, and learning from experience, and how those lessons can guide the way we support our kids.
