RAISING CONFIDENT KIDS IN EVERYDAY MOMENTS

In this quick, bite-sized episode of the Relatable Parenting Podcast, Josh and Priscilla dive into a powerful parenting mindset shift: how your reaction in tough moments can shape your child’s confidence, courage, and resilience. Inspired by a viral parenting video, they explore the impact of staying calm, positive, and encouraging when kids face fear, failure, or physical setbacks - like falling off a bike or navigating playground mishaps. 

Through real-life parenting stories, from monkey bar fears to handling childhood conflict, they unpack how small, everyday responses can become lasting teachable moments. Priscilla shares how intentional encouragement can build toughness without dismissing emotions, while Josh reflects on how even missed opportunities can influence a child’s long-term mindset. Together, they highlight the balance between raising resilient kids and staying emotionally supportive.

This episode is a must-listen for parents of toddlers and young kids who want to raise confident, courageous children without overreacting or under-supporting. If you’ve ever wondered how to turn hard moments into growth opportunities, or how to help your kids “find a way” through challenges, this conversation is a good place to start.
