281: Teaching Our Children To Negotiate With Themselves
Description
Before we can negotiate with others, we must first learn to negotiate with ourselves — to balance our inner voices, our fears, and our dreams. Imagine if children were taught early on to recognize their emotions, to pause before reacting, and to choose compassion over self-criticism. How different might their futures be? In a world that often rushes them to grow up too fast, teaching children to understand and value themselves may be one of the most powerful life lessons we can offer.
In this episode, Cindy Watson sits down with the inspiring Armida Espinoza to explore "Teaching Our Children To Negotiate With Themselves." Armida, a first-generation Mexican American and retired bilingual teacher, has dedicated her life to empowering young minds. As an author and advocate for children's emotional and cognitive development, she brings a powerful message about nurturing self-awareness, confidence, and inner dialogue from an early age. Through her work, Armida encourages children to find their voice, recognize their worth, and understand that no matter their age, they have the power to make a meaningful impact in the world.
This conversation with Armida Espinoza reminds us that self-negotiation isn't just a skill — it's a foundation for resilience, empathy, and authentic confidence.
