Episode 2430:

Shana Olmstead highlights how raising emotionally healthy children begins with doing our own inner work as parents. By modeling mindful responses, trusting children's intuition, and encouraging open emotional expression, we can help them connect with their authentic selves and grow into confident, emotionally intelligent individuals.

Quotes to ponder:

"When we as parents get triggered by our children, it’s still never about them. It’s not personal."

"Trust that helping them to follow their own internal compass instead of yours will lead them to a much happier and more fulfilled life in the long term."

"When you worry, they worry; when you trust, they trust."
