Coaching Session: Paula on Reframing Fixed Mindsets
In this episode, Paula shares her daughter’s struggles with reading and her fears of being rejected by friends. We explore practical, actionable strategies to help children overcome social anxiety, challenge fixed mindsets, and embrace authentic self-expression to build genuine connections.What You’ll Learn- Challenge Negative Beliefs: Teach kids to question fears, like “no one will like me,” by gently asking, “Is that really true?” to shift their perspective.- Build Authentic Confidence: Discover how to help children recognise and celebrate their unique strengths, encouraging them to be themselves rather than conforming to others’ expectations.- Foster Genuine Connections: Guide kids to express their true selves, forming meaningful friendships based on authenticity rather than pretense.We discuss practical approaches, such as staying calm to avoid parental anxiety, using gentle language to reframe limiting beliefs (e.g., “Just because you think it doesn’t mean it’s true”), and asking reflective questions to help kids evaluate their friendships.Conscious Parenting Your ADHD Child: The Coachcast is produced by Urban Podcasts.
