In order for children to build resiliency, they need to be able to PROCESS difficult feelings that come with failures and mistakes. They don't need us to make these feelings go away.

When something seems insignificant and minor to us, it might NOT be the case for our children. When they're expressing their BIG feelings, we need to understand this is how THEY feel about it and the best we can do is be there for them and acknowledge it, not to make it stop.

Showing your children that they are loved and accepted—even when they don’t necessarily succeed—is one way to ensure that your child’s self-esteem is thriving.

It’s common for children (and adults) to feel they are lacking in some way. When we declare that we are enough exactly as we are, amazing things happen — self-acceptance, self-love, and the confidence to soar.

Supporting our children’s progress and goals to develop their internal comparison and ability to work for progress is a key factor in helping them establish a growth mindset.

When your child makes progress, recognize it, no matter how small. Even a few small steps can mean reaching new abilities. Allow your child to relish the little wins.

When we push uncomfortable feelings away, we teach kids to bottle their feelings up and prevent emotional learning and healing. When we hold space for their sadness, anger, or fear, we teach our kids how to soothe themselves and move on from physical and emotional hurts.

Help your child develop a love of the 'process' not the 'prize' by encouraging them to focus on what they’ve learned so far. Getting to the goal will feel amazing, but the skills and abilities they acquire on their way to the goal will serve them forever. #GrowthMindset

Want your child to keep working toward a goal no matter how hard it gets? Let them see your own journey toward a goal. As parents, we don’t need to be perfect to be great teachers. Show your children that part of the fun is the learning you do on the way to a goal. #parenting

Setbacks happen. Failure is a part of success. When our kids focus only on the goal, setbacks seem insurmountable. But they’ve done hard things before! Encourage them to keep going. Failure is not a 'problem'. Failure isn't failure if you learn from it. #growthmindset #parenting

”Say you’re sorry!” Forcing your child to apologize results in empty words said to avoid conflict & shame. They're NOT learning respect or how to do better next time. Shame and fear prevent them from learning anything in that moment. Agree? Disagree? #parenting #parentingtips 👇

Over-protecting your child prevents them from ✔️ learning to deal with 'hard things' ✔️ failing and learning to persevere ✔️ developing confidence Everyone, especially children, need to experience mistakes and the opportunity to rebound. Agree? Disagree? #parenting #parenthood
