Episode Details

When your daughter makes a choice that you wish she wouldn't have, it’s easy to focus on correcting the behavior. But one common parenting mistake can quietly lower your daughter’s self-worth and self-esteem without you realizing it.

In this episode, we talk about why separating the behavior from her identity matters so much for her mental health.

You’ll learn what to say instead when your daughter is overwhelmed, ashamed, or speaking negatively about herself, that protects her self-worth while still holding healthy boundaries.

If you’re parenting tween or teen girls and want practical mental health education, connection-building tools, and real-life “what to say” scripts, this episode is for you.
