Teaching kids to serve isn’t just about helping others—it’s about transforming their lives and building a strong, connected family culture. In this episode we’re exploring why service is one of the most impactful gifts you can give your children. From boosting their confidence and mental health to teaching empathy and fostering a sense of purpose, service has the power to shape your kids into kind, capable, and compassionate individuals.

Parenting today feels like a high-stakes juggling act. With social media, smartphones, and an overwhelming pressure to do everything for our kids, many of us feel like we’re barely keeping up. What if I told you there’s another way—a way that lets you do less while actually raising more resilient, confident kids? That’s exactly what my guest, Dr. Camilo Ortiz, shared on this episode of The Balancing Busy Podcast.

Dr. Ortiz is an associate professor of psychology at Long Island University Post and the developer of Independence Focus Therapy (IFT), a groundbreaking approach to treating and preventing anxiety in kids. With anxiety rates skyrocketing among children and teens, Dr. Ortiz’s method provides a much-needed solution that combines doing less as parents with fostering our kids' independence.

This conversation was a game-changer for me, and I think it will be for you too.
