Raising Lifelong Learners

RLL #192 - Comparison: A Toxic Parenting Trap


Listen Later

It's easy to slip into the temptation to compare our kids to others because it's the easy, even lazy, way to quickly build our kids up and help them to feel better about themselves. What we might not consider are the unintended consequences and the emotional fallout that can result when we compare our kids to each other or other kids and especially when we do that out loud in front of them. In today's episode, Colleen helps you to see the impact of comparison and how you can change course and adopt a healthier way to encourage your kids and build their confidence!
