One Habit that Unintentionally Hurts Your Child’s Self-Confidence

Some parenting practices seem helpful and supportive at first glance, but they actually undermine your child’s confidence.

In this video, I share one of the parenting habits that’s potentially most damaging, partly because it’s so subtle and seems like "good parenting".

I share a story from my own parenting experience--and just to put it in context, this is one of MANY instances where I saw the same response in my son, when I inadvertently did this habit.

After watching the video, I invite you to observe your child over the next while if you do this habit, and let us know your experience with it in the comments below.
