  • Ep:50 When to Let Your Kid Fail.

    Is school becoming a fight? Is your kid acting scared of trying new things? Does your child feel safe failing in your home? Do you?


    Learn the importance of letting your kid fail and why it's so healthy! As a parent, we want our kids to succeed, it is ingrained in us, and the judgement from other parents when your kid isn't succeeding can be a lot to handle.

    So sit back, tune in, and find solace in letting go.
