Ep35: Why is Confidence Important for Students? How to Build Self Confidence in Your Kids

Episode 35

mercredi 4 décembre 2024 • Duration 15:22

Social media is a daily piece of a kid's life today. They use it for news, to connect with friends, and to escape from reality. It’s a form of instant gratification, with dopamine hits and serotonin levels skyrocketing. Kids are addicted to social media and their phones. Unfortunately, the negative effect of social media and comparing themselves to millions of other kids online is that it can hurt their confidence. As parents, we want to teach our kids how to build self-confidence so they can be successful in school and life.

It’s important to get ahead of it before your child lacks confidence in themselves or even experiences feelings of anxiety or depression. In this episode, I talk about why confidence is important for students and how to build self-confidence.
