In this episode of Untidy, Hannah and Matilda speak to Kasey Edwards, author of Raising Girls Who Like Themselves and Bringing up Boys who Like Themselves. Alongside fellow researcher, co-author and husband, Christopher Scanlon, Kasey has researched and written about how to raise children who can grow up to feel confident and secure in who they are. She shares her personal journey and offers practical advice on parenting through small, intentional “tweaks” that can foster resilience and self-acceptance in children.

They discuss key differences between raising girls and boys and how society treats them, beauty standards, body image, and societal pressures facing girls, the role of praise, empowering kids through everyday challenges, shaping boys’ views on masculinity and relationships, diffusing conflict without violence, encouraging healthy emotional expression, and, Kasey shares advice on simple, actionable parenting tweaks that can make a big impact on children's confidence.

This conversation is essential listening for bringing up confident, secure, resilient kids in this modern world.
