How to Raise Confident and Resilient Kids with Jay Shetty

In this episode of "Raising Good Humans," Dr. Liza Pressman interviews Jay Shetty, drawing from a conversation originally featured on Shetty's "On Purpose" podcast. They explore the complexities of modern parenting, questioning the societal assumption that everyone should be a parent and discussing the importance of pre-parental reflection on one's own upbringing and attachment styles. They address common parental guilt and shame, emphasizing that attachment is dynamic and that "repair" after mistakes is crucial for building resilience in children. The conversation covers effective reflection techniques, managing personal "gifts and gaps" when raising children, understanding a child's temperament, and the balance between discipline and encouragement. They also delve into navigating difficult conversations about social media and substance use, and fostering confidence in children through competence-building rather than mere praise.
