Podcasts about raising confident

Creating a home environment that supports meaningful play can feel like a constant puzzle, from managing toy overload to setting up spaces that actually encourage focus, creativity, and independence. So today I'm sharing a conversation with Myriam Sandler, the creator of the hugely popular Mothercould platform and the author of the new book Playful by Design: A Stress-Free Guide to Raising Confident, Creative Kids through Independent Play. As a mother of three, Myriam shares engaging, easy-to-follow video tutorials that offer accessible DIY play ideas, parenting hacks, family travel tips, and more on her wildly popular Instagram and TikTok. Though I'm no longer dealing with toys lying around the house and cluttering our communal spaces, I definitely found life with my child's toys challenging, from how to organize them and store them, to how to avoid having too many toys that never got used. I really could have used Myriam's insights way back then. But if you're still very much in it and sharing a home and life with things like toys, art supplies, and more, have a listen to this episode. Myriam and I discussed the power of independent play and why less is more when it comes to toys, how boredom can actually be a gift, and how small tweaks, like decluttering a play space or setting up “play hotspots,” can make a big difference in your child's ability to play solo. Myriam really believes in making the space you have, the toys you have, and the system you implement work for you instead of trying to make someone else's system work for your family. I hope you walk away feeling empowered knowing that you don't need a ton of new things but just some time to evaluate what's working and what's not.   About my guest Myriam Sandler is the creator of Mothercould (@mothercould), a beloved kids' activity and family lifestyle community trusted by millions of families. As a mother of three, Myriam shares engaging, easy-to-follow video tutorials that offer accessible DIY play ideas, parenting hacks, family travel tips, and more.

I have seven kids with really different personalities. It's funny how people can be raised in the same home and come out so different from each other. Something my kids all have in common though, is confidence. They are all incredibly brave.  They aren't afraid to try new things, and I am in awe of the things they are learning and doing! While I'm not claiming to have "made them" that way, I do think there are some things I have done in my home to nurture confidence. In this episode I'm sharing those things.

As parents, we spend so much time making sure our kids succeed in school, sports, and activities—but are we teaching them the life skills they'll need to thrive in the real world? From cooking and problem-solving to resilience and independence, these skills are just as important as academics (if not more!).In this episode of The Modern Mommy Doc Podcast, I sit down with Katie Kimball, a former teacher, mom of four, and the founder of Kids Cook Real Food, to talk about why life skills matter and how parents can start teaching them at any age. We dive into the research on kids' independence, the long-term benefits of hands-on learning, and practical ways to help kids build confidence and responsibility—without overwhelm.

Ever worry that your daughter lacks the confidence to solve her own problems and advocate for herself? Dr. Jordan describes how parents need to stop doing for kids what they can and need to do for themselves so that, like the great barrier reef, they can learn to grow strong and resilient.The Great Barrier Reef stretches some 1,800 miles from New Guinea to Australia. Tour guides regularly take visitors to view the reef. On one tour, the guide was asked an interesting question. “I notice that the lagoon side of the reef looks pale and lifeless, while the ocean side is vibrant and colorful,” a traveler observed. “Why is this?”The guide gave an interesting answer: “The coral around the lagoon side is in still water, with no challenge for its survival. It dies early. The coral on the ocean side is constantly being tested by wind, waves, storms – surges of power. It has to fight for survival every day of its life. As it is challenged and tested it changes and adapts. It grows healthy. It grows strong. And it reproduces. Then he added this telling note: “That's the way it is with every living organism.” Children need to be allowed to make mistakes, suffer, get frustrated and work thru their emotions and problems to gain the strength, resilience, and confidence that they can take care of themselves, solve their own problems and overcome adversities and challenges because they have been allowed to throughout their lives. Stop doing for kids what they can and need to do for themselves so that, like the great barrier reef, they can learn to grow strong, vibrant, and resilient.Join Our Community:https://www.facebook.com/DrTimJordanhttps://www.instagram.com/drtimjordan/https://www.linkedin.com/in/tim-jordan-md-79799120b/

She opens up about battling severe hormonal imbalances, the pressures of perfectionism, and an intense lifestyle that culminated in a grand mal seizure—a turning point that transformed her approach to health and self-care. Valeria and Lauren bond over their experiences balancing career and motherhood, emphasizing the importance of letting go of control and embracing self-compassion. Lauren reflects on integrating recovery practices like infrared saunas and daily gratitude to shift from merely surviving to truly thriving. This episode provides an honest look at prioritizing self-care and intuition for meaningful personal and professional growth. Lauren Berlingeri is dedicated to inspiring others through fitness and naturally-healthy lifestyle practices. After launching her career as an international model, Berlingeri went on to star in her own show, “Women vs. Workout”—grossing over 15 million views and receiving a Webby Award nomination for Best Host. This experience led to extreme sports hosting for brands such as UFC, EA Sports, and IMG. Having cemented her name within the fitness industry, Berlingeri decided to expand her expertise, earning a holistic nutritionist and health coach certification at The Institute of Integrative Nutrition. Lauren discovered the power of Infrared technology — specifically Infrared saunas — and saw an opportunity to bring the biohacking tool to the masses. Since co-founding HigherDOSE with Katie Kaps, the wellness brand has experienced meteoric success, boiling down to a true revolutionization of the spa business. Lauren brings a fresh perspective to a space that has been dominated by male voices from its inception, making it HigherDOSE's core mission to educate women about their bio-individuality and give them the tools they need to reach their own best selves, with content designed to educate people on how to take control of their own wellness regimens.

In this engaging episode of the Pumped Up Parenting podcast, I sit down with education expert and founder of Precious Presence, Cara Jill Newman. Together, we explore the powerful role mindfulness and emotional awareness play in the classroom and at home. Cara shares her experiences from over 23 years in education and her unique approach to integrating mindfulness into the learning process. We discuss how parents can foster a mindful home environment, help children regulate their emotions, and create a positive mindset for learning. Cara emphasizes the importance of allowing children to express their emotions freely and how setting an example as a calm, mindful adult can shape their success in school and life. If you're curious about how to bring more mindfulness and emotional intelligence into your child's education, this episode is packed with practical tips and insightful strategies. Connect with Cara at @preciouspresence54 on Instagram for more insights on emotional learning and mindfulness. __________________________________________________ Are you ready to STOP YELLING AT YOUR CHILD in just 21 Days?

In this weeks episode, John and Jerry discuss their brand new book The Champion Sports Parent: Practical Wisdom for Raising Confident, Competitive, Mentally Tough Athletes. They wrote this book as a companion to last year's The Champion Teammate, so that parents can best support their children along their athletic journey. Many parents have grown frustrated by the youth sports industrial complex and want to know how to create an exceptional sporting journey for your athletes. They have you heard about concepts such as confidence, mental toughness, and competitiveness, but are not quite sure how to help their athletic child develop these important character traits, while overcoming adversity and the inevitable ups and downs of playing sports. This book is the culmination of their decades of working with Olympians, World Champions, All-Americans, and over 100 championship teams. They have interviewed some of the world's top athletes, coaches, and authors on this podcast, conducted hundreds of workshops for coaches, parents and sports organizations across the globe, and helped their own children become successful competitive athletes. Today John and Jerry discuss some of the highlights of the book, why they wrote it, and share some of their favorite chapters.  THE CHAMPION SPORTS PARENT IS AVAILABLE FOR PREORDER!

In this replay from 2019, John talks with Ted Kroeten (@Joyofthepeople), founder of Joy of the People, a free play soccer program in Minnesota. Kroeten leads the way in rethinking and delivering player development always championing kids and possibilities based on his experienced, dedicated, and innovative soccer career. Joy of the People's mission statement provides a clear idea of what they're attempting to provide:   To support the idea of play as an important part of a child's development, to build small soccer spaces for kids to play, to serve disadvantaged youth, and to build community spirit.   Here are some highlights from the Podcast: What happened when free play was introduced into practice? How does the now defunct idea of “10,000 hours” play into free play and increasing performance? An amazing story of a soccer club famed for youth player development, with numerous expensive player transfers, yet they sign their players after the age of 16  The younger teams get beat in competition, but how does it work out when they get older? There is a time for structure, when is that time? What is going on with the athlete that did not grow up in the academy setting but blows away those who grew up in the deliberate practice environment? How can you add free play into your performance development practice plan? What are “kid micro-clubs”?     Connect with Ted Kroeten Website:  www.joyofthepeople.org Email: Ted@joyofthepeople.org Twitter: @JOYofthePEOPLE LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ted-kroeten-3114a27/   Resources Mentioned  Article on Dynamo Zagreb Academy Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World, by David Epstein [book] The debate between Epstein and Gladwell [video] Explorations in Language Acquisition and Use, by Stephen Krashen [book] How to Become a Transformational Coach with Jean Cote, World-Renowned Expert in Youth Sports and Coach Development [podcast]   OUR NEW BOOK IS AVAILABLE FOR PREORDER!

Today's episode is with Dr Jo-Ann Finkelstein, author of the hot new release "Sexism and Sensibility.  Dr. Finkelstein's work focuses on understanding and dismantling sexism for parents trying to raise confident and powerful girls in a culture that often demeans them. The world is full of mixed messages for girls: Stand up for yourself but do it softly. Be independent but not single. Love your body, just make sure it's waxed, bleached, and thin. And then there are the more overt hostilities: being talked over, paid less, touched without permission, and having politicians debate their right to bodily autonomy. Many parents find it simpler to affirm girls' strength than to address these distressing experiences directly. But with girls' skyrocketing rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide, parenting them in this culture presents an urgent challenge: How do we teach girls to recognize and cope with these realities without crushing their optimism and belief that they can incite change? Jo-Ann Finkelstein, PhD, is a clinical psychologist who was educated at Harvard University and Northwestern University and now maintains a private clinical practice. An expert blogger for Psychology Today, her work has been highlighted in The New York Times, The Atlantic, The Harvard Business Review, Women's Health, Oprah Daily, Parents, and on HuffPost and CNN. Her writing has appeared in The Washington Post, Ms., Your Teen, among other publications. Dr. Finkelstein serves on the Advisory Board for Stop Sexual Assault in Schools, has served on the board of the Chicago Chapter of the National Organization for Women, volunteered for Planned Parenthood PAC, and was an organizer for the Chicago Women's March. She lives in Chicago, Illinois.

Her background is in biology and psychology, from humpbacks to humans, and she has invested decades of her life into personal, family, Christian faith, and leadership development. Most of all, she believes the best way to change the world is through one living room at a time!You can connect with Nellie on her website, on Instagram, Facebook Group, and YouTube.Send a text message!

In the first hour of "Connections with Evan Dawson" on Wednesday, August 7, 2024, guest host Eric Logan sits down with Ruth Holland Scott to discuss her new book, “Raising Confident Children.”

The benefits of attachment parenting cannot be overstated. Securely attached kids are more confident, connected and more prepared to enter the world. They also tend to experience fewer health problems. But why?  Here to share more about the science behind attachment parenting and how we can raise confident connected children is Eli Harwood. Eli is a licensed therapist who lives in Colorado with her husband and three children. She's an expert on attachment theory and the author of Raising Securely Attached Kids, which will be available September 2024. She also loves playing dress up with her kids, obsessing about sourdough starter. And reminiscing about that one time, she won a set of globes as a Price Is Right contestant. The good news is that even if you haven't been parenting in a way that promotes attachment up to now, this process is flexible and ever changing. The best time to start is right now. Listen in to hear all of Eli's tips and tricks no matter the age of your children.  In this episode, we discuss:  What securely attached parenting is. How it benefits children throughout their lives. How you can cultivate it in your own home. We touch on highly sensitive children, how you can connect with them and help them to feel more seen and secure.

How is secure attachment parenting different from William Sears' attachment parenting? What are common life events that test the bond between kids and parents, and how can they be overcome? How can you restore the bond with your kid if it has been broken? Is it ever too late to switch to a secure attachment parenting style? Disclaimer: This podcast does not provide medical advice.

If you're feeling this way, you're not alone. This is what we do all day, every day. Many of our parents were in the same shoes as you are now. They were anxious and worried about helping their child be more equipped to succeed in life. We're Audra & Matt, parents and dedicated leadership coaches for 25+ years.

Our host Allison Miller sits down with Aimee Schlueter: a Certified Life Coach who is passionate about improving the lives of teens. Through coaching, she educates teens on how to navigate the road of life so they can learn how to handle the bumps along the way. Aimee inspires teens to step into their full potential through self-development and discovering their limits. When teens gain more self-awareness, discover their choices, and learn to look at their world differently, it reduces stress and creates more confidence, better communication, stronger relationships, and positive outcomes.

While we all probably want to raise healthy and happy children, many of us also have the goal to raise children who are not only confident but also independent – equipped with the skills and mindset to navigate what life throws at them. Whether by choice or necessity, the children of working moms often don't have the luxury of having things done for them like they would if we were stay-at-home moms, and I, for one, think that's actually not a bad thing. Honestly, I believe the importance of instilling confidence and independence in our kids cannot be overstated. As working moms, we understand that our absence during certain parts of the day doesn't diminish our role in shaping our children's character. In fact, it requires a more intentional and focused approach to parenting. We don't have the luxury of 16 hours a day to spend with our children. This week on The CPA MOMS Podcast we discuss nurturing independence while being present, building confidence through positive reinforcement, and building a supportive environment.

My guests today, Joe and Mell Hashey, had their lives turned upside down in 2020, forcing them to bid farewell to their cherished "dream home" and embark on a 2,000-mile journey to an unfamiliar town, where they knew no one. This transformative experience became the catalyst for the creation of Strong Family Co. — a versatile framework any family can adopt to establish values and cultivate stress-free family leadership.  Joe Hashey earned his Master of Education from Colgate University, where he played football for a few years before four knee surgeries. He went on to become an award-winning high school social studies teacher for eight years and a local youth coach. Mell Hashey is a former social worker turned stay-at-home mom of three. In college, Joe's father passed away due to preventable health issues. Fueled by a passion for promoting health and wellness, Joe launched a local personal training company dedicated to helping busy adults live longer and healthier lives. He has been a prominent leader in his community for 15 years and was honored as the Chamber of Commerce's Small Business Person of the Year in 2018. Realizing he was dedicating more time to his business than to his family, Joe swiftly rebalanced. Now, as a business consultant for companies coast to coast, he applies those lessons to guide the most important organization in his life: his family. Together, the Hasheys penned, Strong Family Guidebook: Your Guide to Raising Confident, Independent, and Resilient Children, a practical guide full of the wisdom that transformed their family into a resilient unit.

In today's episode I sat down with Asia Mape who is an Emmy award winning sports journalist, former college athlete, a mother of 3 daughters, and the founder of I Love to Watch You Play.

Here are some key takeaways and highlights from this episode: Support without pressure: Asia highlighted the importance of guiding and supporting kids in their sports endeavors without pressuring them. Encouraging open communication and understanding their individual desires and goals is crucial. Balancing support and autonomy: We discussed the need for parents to strike a balance between offering guidance and allowing kids to make their own decisions. Setting boundaries, encouraging diverse interests, and being aware of signs of burnout are essential. Tech boundaries & resources: We also talked about the impact of technology on kids and the need for setting boundaries as a family to prevent addiction and burnout. Asia shared valuable resources at ilovetowatchyouplay.com and on her social media, providing support for parents navigating the youth sports world.

How do you find balance in raising confident and independent kids while still serving them?Teaching confidence and independence involves knowing when to step back and when to step in. It's about offering guidance and support while allowing them the space to try, fail, learn, and try again.Encouraging them to try new things and praising their efforts—whether big or small—can do wonders. Celebrate their victories, but also teach them how to handle challenges and setbacks gracefully. Remind them that mistakes are stepping stones to success, not stumbling blocks.It's natural to want to shield our kids from life's challenges, but fostering independence is so important. Start with age-appropriate responsibilities and gradually increase them. Letting them make choices (even if it means a mismatched outfit occasionally) helps them learn decision-making skills. Allow them space to solve problems on their own but be there as a safety net when needed.As parents, our goal isn't to do everything for our kids but to empower them to become capable, self-assured individuals who can navigate the world confidently. It's a journey that requires patience, guidance, and a whole lot of love.You're doing an amazing job, friends. Keep believing in your kids, keep fostering their confidence and independence, and watch them blossom into incredible individuals.Episode Highlights: Finding balance in parenting.Raising kids with confidence.Capitalizing on the challenges.Our kids are more capable than we think.Links Mentioned in Episode/Find More on Ryan and Shannon:Follow Shannon on InstagramFollow Ryan on InstagramVisit Shannon's WebsiteOrder your copy of The Entitlement Trap Here!This show has been produced by Adkins Media Co.
