While there is an abundance of wonderful advice, strategies, books, videos, and scripts that we can follow as parents; ultimately every parent has within them an inner knowing of what it means to be a parent. It involves listening to our intuition and choosing to respond to our children with love instead of fear.

Does this resonate with you? I think it's worth putting on repeat! 🔁

Our culture looooves to obsess over behaviors and achievements. We parents get WAY too much credit when our kids perform well -- and way too much BLAME when they struggle.

When kids hit bumps in the road, we tend to focus on "fixing" them, rather than looking at what's happening inside ourselves and meeting our kids where they are. 🌻 ✨

Along these lines, this podcast episode is SO good!

The emotional pull to step in and save our kids from hurt and upset is so strong. Let’s help them to think through the situation, to put space between themselves and the event so that they can get practice managing their own lives. I think this is far more helpful than stepping into their arena.

Resilience is an innate quality that we are all born with in equal measure. It cannot be diminished, lost or stolen.

The iheart program teaches young people how to uncover their wellbeing and experience their inherent motivation, confidence and compassion.
