When your child wants to quit an activity, especially one they’re good at, it can be challenging to know the right thing to do! Should you encourage them to push through, knowing the long-term benefits, or let them move on to something new? 

And then there's self-care—how do we even fit it into our hectic, overwhelming lives? It's so easy to let it fall by the wayside, especially for busy parents. But self-care can be more achievable than you think, with little things we can do on a daily basis that provide a moment to breathe and rejuvenate—without breaking the bank or needing more hours in the day.

In this episode:

Change brings anxiety


Resilience [Webinar]


The Secret to Regulating Emotions (train analogy)


What should you do when a child wants to quit an activity?
Overwhelm and burn-out
