About this listen
This episode dismantles one of parenting’s most accepted habits: constant praise and quick rescues. Through neuroscience and real-world examples, we uncover how over helping can short-circuit your child’s brain development, mute their motivation, and wire dependency instead of resilience. You’ll learn the mechanics of the confidence loop—belief, action, evidence—and how to shift from being the fixer to becoming the believer. Strategic restraint, emotional presence, and allowing struggle become the essential tools for building durable self-belief.
