Parenting Your Quiet, Self-Deprecating Kids
Episode description
Are you a parent struggling to connect with a child who seems quiet, self-deprecating, and introverted in the face of challenges? You're not alone! I have been struggling with the unique dynamics of parenting children like this with my daughter, Pia.
Today I’ll share my personal journey through the ups and downs of supporting Pia, who is transitioning to high school and grappling with schoolwork, low self-esteem, and a different temperament compared to her outspoken sister. The big question here is: How do we effectively communicate and connect with children who internalize their struggles and emotions?
Discover the power of empathy and the art of being a safe space for your quiet, people-pleasing child. I'll share my own experiences, successes, and setbacks, and offer practical advice on how to resist the urge to fix everything and let them take responsibility for their challenges.
