Instilling Courage and Confidence in our Girls with Amy Klein [Episode 70]

Aug 21, 2019

Amy is a mother of two and co-founder of Give Her Courage, a company focused on helping young girls develop courage and confidence. We talk about the how and why and modeling that courage for our children.

Key Points from this episode:

• Celebrate the nice things siblings do for each other to encourage the positive behaviors.
• The things that are worthwhile are going to be hard and challenging, but we shouldn't let that discourage us!
• Nothing is perfect. Just be in the moment. Try to focus on whatever you are doing in that moment and just be in it.
• Sitting down for (a distraction-free) dinner as a family every night opens the door for bonding and communication.
• Embrace your imperfections and let your children see that. Let them see you comfortable in your own skin. That will give them permission to do the same.
• Risk-taking is doing something where you are stepping outside your comfort zone. It is as individual as we are.
• Let your children know when you are feeling outside your comfort zone and are choosing to do it anyways.
• Guilt is just in our nature because we are trying so hard. Confidence is reminding ourselves that we are great and we are doing the best that we can do.
