  • S2 Ep48: Is self-compassion more important than self-esteem? with Karen Bluth, PhD
    This week we’re talking with researcher and educator Dr. Karen Bluth about all things self-compassion: what it really means, and why it can benefit every member of the family. Dr. Bluth talks us through the research, challenges misconceptions, and argues that self-compassion is actually more valuable for our kids than self-esteem. We also learn how to help our kids cultivate their self-compassion, and get some good news — that it’s easier to embrace than you may think!
