Description

As parents, so many of our decisions in the moment are focused on keeping the peace, calming the meltdown, protecting our nerves. But while that might reduce drama in the short term, it often prevents our children from developing the confidence and resilience they need for long-term success. In this episode, you'll learn why discomfort is essential for growth and how to respond in those hard moments without rescuing, over-explaining, or giving in.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • The hidden ways we unintentionally block our child's resilience by avoiding discomfort
  • Why discomfort is not dangerous, but necessary, for developing confidence and emotional strength
  • A new way to respond when your child is upset, frustrated, or overwhelmed so they learn "I can handle hard things"
