About this listen

Fostering independence in our children is more important than ever, especially as technology increasingly encroaches on their development. Today, we sit down with Nicole Runyon, a psychotherapist, parent coach, keynote speaker, and author of the bestselling book Free To Fly: The Secret To Fostering Independence In The Next Generation, who sheds light on how excessive screen time, combined with permissive parenting, can hinder kids' ability to cope with frustration and build resilience. Nicole shares her insights on the alarming mental health issues she’s observed in children from seemingly stable families and emphasizes the crucial role of allowing kids to experience discomfort as part of their growth. We dive into practical strategies for helping our children navigate their challenges and develop the confidence they need to thrive in an ever-changing world. Join us as we explore how to create healthy connections and empower our kids to take on life's hurdles with assurance.
