Description

🌟 New Podcast Episode: "Helping Kids Handle College Rejections" 🌟

Parents, are you navigating the emotional rollercoaster of college application season with your kids? This week’s episode is for you! 🎧💬

Rejection letters can be tough, but they’re also incredible opportunities for growth. In this episode, I share:
✅ How to support your child when they face rejection.
✅ Ways to help them process emotions in healthy, confident ways.
✅ The importance of modeling vulnerability and resilience.

🎯 Key Takeaways to Help Your Child Handle College Rejections:

  • Acknowledge Their Feelings: Validate their emotions without trying to immediately “fix” them.
  • Share Stories of Resilience: Talk about your own challenges and rejections to show setbacks are part of success.
  • Model Positive Reactions: Avoid negative talk about the school or others who were accepted. Celebrate others’ wins!
  • Encourage Reflection: Ask open-ended questions like, “What do you want to do next?” to help them look ahead.
  • Remind Them of Their Worth: Rejection doesn’t define them. Confidence comes from knowing they’re more than one decision.

✨ Confidence isn’t about avoiding failure—it’s about embracing it as part of a vibrant, courageous life. Let’s show our kids how to move through disappointment with grace.
