75 - How to Help Your Daughter Without Taking On Her Feelings

When your daughter is struggling, it can feel impossible not to take on her emotions as your own. In this episode, we talk about how to help without absorbing her anxiety, fear, or sadness, and why regulating yourself first is so important. You’ll learn what co-regulation looks like with teens, whether it’s okay for your daughter to see you cry or know you’re feeling anxious, and what to say to support her without making things worse. As challenging as these seasons are, they can build emotional resilience and help your teen and tween girls feel safe expressing big emotions. xo, Kristen     Mentioned in this episode: - FREE GUIDE: Start building her worth and confidence today → Five Simple Ways to Build Your Daughter's Self-Esteem in Five Minutes a Day - Join my NEW Facebook Community: Raising Confident Teen Daughters   Resources:  - My Confidence Course for Girls/Moms: Get all the videos, activities, and tools to help your daughter build her confidence and your connection.
