Description

When our kids show up week after week for practice, lessons, rehearsals, or meetings—they’re doing more than building a skill. They’re building confidence, resilience, self-awareness, and identity.


In this episode, we’re talking about how to support your child through whatever they’re passionate about—without turning it into pressure. Whether your child is trying something new, losing interest in a long-time activity, or all-in on a big dream, we’ll explore how you can walk alongside them with perspective, encouragement, and balance.


You’ll learn:




  • How to help your child reflect on what they’re learning from their hobbies or activities




  • What to do when they want to quit—and how to know if it’s the right call




  • Why even passionate kids still benefit from trying new things




  • How to support kids with big goals (without making it about perfection)




  • Conversation starters to check in with your child about their experiences




Whether your child is just starting out or going all-in, this episode will help you support their growth beyond the scoreboard or the stage.
