Parenting, in general, can feel like a daunting task! Every parent wants to raise happy, mentally fit, thriving children...but where do you start? There are many attributes that parents can foster in their children in order to ensure they are thriving. In this week’s episode, Thrive Programme Coach Dom Marcotte joins Lucy to share a little about her own parenting journey; how she supported her daughter in overcoming anxiety, and how she learned to become a more thriving parent by challenging some unhelpful thinking.

Key discussion points in this podcast:

• The importance of resilience – how to build resilience in children 
• How to support children in developing an internal self-esteem, so that they don’t rely on external validation to ‘make them’ feel good
• The importance of parents being positive, thriving role models for their children
