How Not to Screw Up Your Kids

Seen But Not Heard: Helping Your Child Find Their Voice


Listen Later

Is your child quiet, shy or reserved?

Do they struggle to get heard in group settings?

Are you worried their introversion is holding them back?


As parents we naturally worry about our children, but here’s some breaking news: just because they might be reserved or quiet, it does not mean they lack belief or confidence.


They may not know how to assert themselves in certain situations as well as others, or even as well as you or their siblings, so in this episode I am going to help you spot the signs where additional support may be needed, and give you some expert advice on how to help your children find their voice.


So find a comfy seat, pour yourself a cuppa and enjoy the conversation…
