EPISODE 20: Simple Parenting Hacks to Build Unshakeable Self-Esteemv

Welcome to Parents Talk, the podcast focused on raising strong, confident kids today so we don't have to fix what was broken later in life.

I'm your host, Francine Juhlin, founder of The Confidence Club for Kids. Each episode brings thoughtful conversations and practical guidance to help parents support their children's emotional growth, confidence, and personal development.

In this episode, we are joined by Tabbie Mann, Clinical Social Worker, therapist, and author of the children's book Dinosaur Brain. Tabbie brings her clinical expertise and passion for child development into a conversation that every parent needs to hear — how to help children understand, manage, and overcome their fears.

Through her work as a therapist and her experience as an author, Tabbie explains how children process big emotions and why fear can sometimes feel overwhelming for young minds. She shares practical strategies parents can use at home to help their kids build emotional awareness, develop healthy coping skills, and grow their confidence from the inside out.

The conversation also explores how addressing fear early can protect children's self-esteem and set them up for greater resilience as they grow. Tabbie's unique blend of clinical knowledge and storytelling makes this episode both insightful and deeply relatable for any parent navigating a child who struggles with worry or anxiety.

This episode is a reminder that helping a child face their fears is one of the greatest gifts a parent can give.

Join us as we explore parenting tools and meaningful conversations that help children grow with confidence, one episode at a time.
