How We Really Toughen Kids Up

In today’s episode, I’m talking about how we really toughen kids up. Honestly, my own thoughts around this have shifted dramatically in recent years as I've done my own inner work + learned more about brain development, psychology, and emotions.Whether a child is taught to stop crying because they'll get a reward OR because they're afraid of what will happen if they don't, the result looks surprisingly similar. A kid learns to stop showing emotion without ever learning how to process it.Fear-based compliance might make a child quieter in the moment, but what’s that actually teaching them?I want to raise resilient, tough kids who can handle what life throws at them, too. I've just had a HUGE change of heart about how we get them there!In this episode, I cover:Why my perspective on “kids these days” has changedHow different parenting extremes can create surprisingly similar outcomesGetting honest about what we actually needed as kidsWhat it really looks like to raise tough, resilient kidsWhy kids need a softer place to land when they’re experiencing life lessonsMake sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!Find the complete show notes here: https://terryndrieling.com/how-we-really-toughen-kids-upConnect with Terryn:Follow on Instagram @terryn.drielingCheck out my websiteSend me an email at [email protected] & Links:Schedule a free consult and see if 1:1 Good Movement Guidance is right for you – mention “castpod” when you book to receive 10% off!Check out my merch shopJoin the waitlist for the Good Movement CollectiveGood Movement music by: Aaron EspePodcast produced by: Jill Carr Podcasting
