  • Ep35: Why is Confidence Important for Students? How to Build Self Confidence in Your Kids
    Dec 4 2024

    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.

  • Ep29: How to Set Boundaries with ADHD
    Jul 24 2024

    Boundaries are especially important for those with ADHD. ADHD causes your brain to go into overdrive so it’s easy to overthink and get anxious in certain situations. Boundaries can help people with ADHD remain calm and stable in uncomfortable situations. Let’s dive into how to set boundaries with ADHD.
