76 - This Common Parenting Mistake Can Lower Your Daughter’s Self-Worth (What to Say Instead)

When your daughter makes a choice that you wish she wouldn't have, it’s easy to focus on correcting the behavior. But one common parenting mistake can quietly lower your daughter’s self-worth and self-esteem without you realizing it. In this episode, we talk about why separating the behavior from her identity matters so much for her mental health. You’ll learn what to say instead when your daughter is overwhelmed, ashamed, or speaking negatively about herself, that protects her self-worth while still holding healthy boundaries. If you’re parenting tween or teen girls and want practical mental health education, connection-building tools, and real-life “what to say” scripts, this episode is for you. xo, Kristen   Mentioned in this episode: - Join my NEW Facebook Community: Raising Confident Teen Daughters - Best Parenting Book - "Good Inside" - Powerful Book on Human Connection - "The Light We Give"   Resources:  - FREE GUIDE: Start building her worth and confidence today → Five Simple Ways to Build Your Daughter's Self-Esteem in Five Minutes a Day - My Confidence Course for Girls/Moms: Get all the videos, activities, and tools to help your daughter build her confidence and your connection.
