Episode 4
It drives parents crazy when our kids tell us they can't do something we've asked them to do or something new and unfamiliar. Sometimes the "I can't" is really "I won't", "I don't want to." Other times it's, "I don't know how to." "I'm too scared to try, or disappoint you." Very often, "I can't" is a reflection of a child's self-mage, what they believe about themselves... their self-esteem. In this episode I share six strategies for helping to foster your child's "I can" self belief system and build a strong, healthy self-esteem.
