Ep. 73: Nurturing Independence and Confidence in our Children - it starts small and rewards in big ways

from The Routine Queen Podcast: Healthy Habits and Mindful Living · host Kristin Woodford

This week we explore the importance of creating experiences for our children to explore independence, develop important life skills and grow their confidence. It starts with giving them opportunities to test, learn and grow from a young age with simple tasks which ultimately builds a strong foundation and toolset for how to navigate more complex situations as they go through life. Sometimes we, as parents, are quick to want to step in and help out because we can do it faster and better. Today we talk about the magic that unfolds if we are able to take a step back, be quiet and take the role as the observer (there to help if needed/asked) as we give our children the opportunity to learn firsthand.Connect with Kristin on IG @kristinwoodford
