In this episode of The Nurture Network, we dive deep into the concept of letting your kids experience discomfort and struggle. Many parents feel the urge to protect their children from difficult emotions or situations, but this well-meaning instinct can actually hinder their growth. Discover why stepping back when appropriate, allowing your child to work through their challenges, and letting them feel their emotions is an essential part of building resilience and emotional intelligence.

We explore how, as parents, we can balance empathy with the necessary skill of letting our children navigate their own problems. Learn how to support them in feeling heard and respected while still encouraging their ability to face challenges head-on. This episode will provide practical insights for parents who want to foster independence, resilience, and emotional maturity in their kids.
