You want your teen to become confident and capable—but some of the ways you're trying to help may be doing the exact opposite.

In this episode, you'll discover:

  • Two common ways of responding when your teen struggles that can actually weaken their confidence

  • What confidence really is—and why struggling, making mistakes, and feeling negative emotions are part of building it

  • How to help your teen think through problems and make decisions without rescuing them or telling them what to do

Tune in to learn how stepping back might actually be one of the best things you can do for your teen's confidence.
