The goal of parenting should be to foster the growth and development of the child in front of us, and part of this is guiding them through experiences and things that may make them more anxious. I welcome Dr. Melissa Giglio, a child clinical psychologist, author, and director of a private practice in Hong Kong.

We discuss:

How we can nurture bravery and confidence in our children

Strategies to “push’ our child in healthy ways 

Ways to validate their experience as they grow through new situations
