Michelle Grosser - Inspired by Brene Brown, Mel Robbins & Rachel Hollis
About this episode

As parents, we all know well enough that self-control isn’t innate.  But there’s good news!  Self-regulation is a skill we can help cultivate in our children.  But how can we get them to be conscious of their own willpower and mindful of developing it? 

In this episode, we explore how to help our children learn to self-regulate. We’ll discuss how we can encourage them to grow in resilience, manage big emotions, and practice delaying gratification. So press play and join us as I teach three specific things we can start doing today to help develop our kids’ self-regulation skills.
