Meet Nadim. Nadim is a Dad to his lovely kids and also a Parent Coach who has written books and set up companies about his experiences and professional understanding of how children develop their emotional intelligence, which as you know, is right up our street at FizzyKids HQ!

Nadim experienced a fizzy moment with his daughter when she was just 8 years old. She was a happy child and so positive and he thought nothing could ever affect her and she would go through life just being happy. However, for a couple of weeks she started becoming really difficult and mean to her siblings and it was getting worse. Nadim managed to actively listen to her and coach her and she ended up admitting ‘I hate myself’. It shows that even happy children who may seem to have no challenges and who have high self-esteem can have fizzy moments when they struggle to manage their big feelings and that it is so important to help them recover and feel better about themselves This is the key reason Nadim founded the Happy Confident Company, to create tools to ensure no kids would ever feel that way again.

Nadim also eloquently and candidly talks about the impact that his childhood experiences had on his parenting and how he believes that to be the best parents we can be to our fizzy kids, we all need to understand a little bit about child psychology and how their brains work.
