Discover how learning styles and learning mindsets may be holding your child back. In this Mighty Parenting podcast episode, co-hosts Judy Davis and Sandy Fowler talk with learning and education expert Kimberly Kassner. They'll be getting tips and strategies parents can use to support and help their teenagers and college students succeed while building their self-esteem.
In Real Talk we are digging into yelling; what it really is, what it does to our kids and our relationships, and what you can do about it.
Our Guest:  Kimberly Kassner
From Our Sponsor DASIUM: When our kids have low self-esteem it can impact their susceptibility to abuse alcohol, prescription drugs, street drugs, food, sex, etc. Helping our children find and build on their strengths helps them build self-esteem. Parents can help by not gushing with constant praise or offering insincere praise, rather give them choices in their life, encourage them to take on challenges and go after goals. When they encounter failures, remind them anyone who achieves anything fails and ask them what they learned from the experience and what they will do differently next time.
