How We Can Help Cultivate Our Kids’ Inte...

MICHELLE KENNEY, M. ED
About this episode

With schools slowly opening back up too, it might be a period of uncertainty and anxiety for our kids-- especially for the little ones who are coming into kindergarten or middle school for the first time. It’s a time where they’re trying to figure out their own interests, hobbies, and identities, alongside their own peers while simultaneously dealing with academics and social interactions.

These are some of the concerns fellow mother and this week’s guest, Navia, shared with me. I’ll be sitting down with her to answer her questions on how she can help her daughters’ transition into a new stage of their lives while also finding ways she can take an active and encouraging role in cultivating their dreams and interests.

There are ways to help our children grow into confident and self-assured people without being controlling so please tune into this episode!

Episode Highlights:

  • How Navia can make her kid’s whining go away
  • How to help her daughter transition going back to school
  • Don’t worry too much about whether or not your kids are making friends
  • Give your kids the freedom on what they want to wear
  • Being open to your kids’ interests and ways you can cultivate it
