In this special edition of the Cold Coffee Hot Mess, the boys have taken over the mics. Nadean and Olivia brought hubs, Ed and Nathan, into the studio to chat with author and fellow girl dad Dr. Chris Scanlon about the joys and challenges of raising girls from a dad's POV. Chris co-authored ‘Raising Girls Who Like Themselves' with wife Kasey Edwards, who's also been a guest on the show. He shares his wisdom on breaking out of the traditional paternal roles with daughters, creating open lines of communication, dealing with female-specific issues, and creating a strong framework for discipline. A must listen for any dad with daughters. BONUS – 7 Parenting Hacks for Dads - https://www.raisinggirlswholikethemselves.com/dadhacks

After wife and husband research and writing team Kasey Edwards and Dr Christopher Scanlon published their bestselling book Raising Girls Who Like Themselves in 2021, they started getting the same question over and over again: what about boys? Parents are worried about their sons - that they have low self-esteem, lack confidence, and are angry and sad. They're scared that boys will lose their sweetness and joy as they get older. The problem they discovered is that while “girls can do anything” there is still only one “right” way to be a boy. There are still dangerous assumptions about boys being tough and being able to handle shaming, harsh punishments, and pressure to perform. This is suffocating our boys, limiting their potential, and in some cases, killing them. But Kasey and Christopher have the antidote in the newly published book - Bringing Up Boys Who Like Themselves. Using a friendly, guilt-free approach, they show parents why and how to help their boys discover for themselves - who they are rather than forcing them into the masculine straitjacket. With the right approach and strategies, parents can build a strong foundation within their sons so that they can withstand whatever life throws at them and soar to reach their potential.

No one is coming to save you.No one is going to pick up a fork and put broccoli in your mouth or say no your mother in law for you.Change is HARD, so we MUST be the hero of our own story and face the fight head on if we want to succeed in weight loss, habit change, fitness, or really anything.Unfortunately we've been condition to be passive victims… mere side characters rather than the protagonist we were destined to be.All this can change when we adopt a heroes mindset and know how to keep moving forward even when challenges inevitably come. (There's no good story without some conflict!)In this episode go over what to expect, how to embrace struggle, and ultimate transform into the hero that gets the prize.The hero you are destined to be.I mentioned a book called — Raising girls who like themselves by Kasey Edwards.

Join Claire and her special guest, Kasey Edwards. Today's topic "Raising Girls Who Like Themselves".

Today I am speaking with Kasey Edwards, a writer and researcher and the author of the international bestselling Raising Girls Who Like Themselves. She mixes humour, heart and credible research to write about issues such as raising children, work satisfaction, motherhood and body image. She has a wide readership, with an audience of over 10 million worldwide, and is a passionate champion for girls and women.

Reparenting The Power Perspective- Children can control how they respond to things Catastrophising- Why is it and why it's harmful ‘Beauty Praise'- Why it is damaging for children, especially daughters Overpraising in the Classroom Why Kasey And Chris encouraged their daughter NOT to join the High Achievers Program Homework can contribute to children hating learning Passion and purpose- Engaging children using a strengths-based approach Social Skills- Do we have to teach them?

And it can be really increasingly difficult for parents to know what to do to help boost a child's confidence to help boost a child's self esteem and to create a girl who goes out into the world and demands nothing less than the absolute best, because she knows that's what she deserves.This conversation is pure

A couple of months ago a Facebook post caught my eye, the title of a book called Raising Girls Who Like Themselves. This title, whilst so simple, really tugged at a core want that I have for my children. I grabbed a copy, read it within a day, and thought, I need to get the authors Kasey and Chris on the show so that we can help raise more girls who like themselves.

Kasey Edwards is worried about our girls. In her latest book Raising Girls Who Like Themselves she researched how young girls feel about themselves and what she found will shock you. Girls in primary school wanting to cut 'rolls of fat' off their own bodies. Kasey says that it's parents and carers- with the best intentions- who are causing the most damage.

Falling pregnant with their first child, Dr Chris and Kasey quickly realised that they wanted to do something to change the state of self belief and low esteem that many girls experience, especially after Kasey's own personal experience growing up. In this episode Cecelia and Nat chat with the duo to understand more of their own experience raising girls and how we can have the right tools to change the future landscape. Specifically in this episode you'll learn; + Why micro movements to contribute to overall self belief + How from around 10 years of age girls are already trained with their mindset + How to answer our kids questions better with the facts + The 'fat chat.' How women bond over talking about their weight and why. And what we can do to be aware and change this. + Strategies like how to allow girls to make their own decisions. "If it's not permanent or harmful, 'she' gets to decide." + Consent for young women And more. You can also find more in Dr Chris and Kasey's book - Raising Girls Who Like Themselves.

Today's society can be toxic for girls, can what we do as parents really make a difference? Yes!In this episode we chat with husband and wife research team and authors of Raising Girls Who Like Themselves, Kasey Edwards and Dr Christopher Scanlon. Their book details the seven qualities that enable girls to thrive and arm themselves against a world that tells them they are flawed. It's packed with practical, evidence-based advice, and is an indispensable guide to raising a girl who is happy and confident in herself. We chat with Kasey and Chris on KIDDO chats about some of these qualities and how we can work to instil them in our own daughters, so they too will grow up liking themselves. According to Kasey and Chris, when you raise a girl who likes herself, everything else follows. Your daughter will strive for excellence because she has faith in her ability to achieve it and the confidence to pick herself up. She will nurture her physical and mental health because it's natural to care for something you love. She will insist on healthy relationships because she believes she deserves nothing less.And if that's not something we all want for our daughters, we don't know what is! This episode will help get you started on some of the ways we can work with our daughters to build and strengthen qualities that will lead them towards happy, confident lives.

As women, we spend so much of our lives disliking things about ourselves. Our bodies, our looks, our laugh, the list goes on… So when Mel's 8-year-old daughter started telling her the things she didn't like about herself, she thought, 'nooooo, you're too little! Stay innocent for longer please!' Sadly she's not the only one. Alarming research has found that more than half of all Aussie girls between 8-9, don't like their body. That's just heartbreaking. Luckily today's guests are here to help. Author Kasey Edwards has teamed up with her husband Dr Christopher Scanlon to write Raising Girls Who Like Themselves, and they join us to share all their advice.
