I asked my friend what her kid’s hardest thing was. She said he was quitting everything he wasn’t immediately good at. The “learning space” was too uncomfortable.
I cannot relate in any way. 🫠
May our Robots Inside be reminded today: how brave to even TRY!

Sharing some words from my article published today on Confident Parents, Confident Kids.
To be clear, I am usually an unconfident parent.
But I am confident *this* is true, and I’m going to keep trying to be good at it.
Read “Replacing Shame with Curiosity in Family Culture” below 🙂

I have some friends in their 70s. I couldn’t march at the statehouse today, so they asked me to make their signs. I’ve learned 8 million things from them, but here’s two:
1) You bring people in by asking them to do a simple thing they’re good at; that way, no one is doing all the work.

Imagines what could hurt too much or make you laugh at me.”
