How to Talk to Kids about Bodies Boundaries and Choices with Dena Moe #shorts

This episode is a must-listen if you’ve ever wondered how to start these conversations without fear, shame, or awkward silence. 🎙 How to Talk to Kids about Bodies, Boundaries and Choices with guest Dena Moes, author of It’s Your Body.

How to Raise Your Child to become a Leader #shorts

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/feW6HlmFZvc Our kids don’t need to feel 100% ready to lead, they need to feel believed in. Sometimes the biggest barrier isn’t skill, it’s self-doubt. When your child hesitates, your voice becomes the bridge between fear and courage. Instead of pushing, remind them: You've done hard things before. I saw you lead, help, speak up. That wasn't a fluke, that was you showing up as a leader. And if they still say “not yet,” lean in with: “It’s okay to feel unsure. Just know, I believe in you. You've got this.” That belief? It sticks. And it helps them rise when it matters most. I hope this helps you today.

Replace Good Job through these 3 Powerful Ways #shorts

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/eWDBp3gMheE “Good job” feels safe. It’s quick, familiar... but often forgettable. Our kids don’t just need to feel noticed, they need to feel understood. Try this: Notice the process, not just the outcome. Say, “You really focused through that challenge,” or “You didn’t give up when it got tough.” That kind of praise? It sticks. It teaches. When we name their effort, strengths, or strategy, we’re not just boosting their confidence, we’re giving them a roadmap to repeat that success. Let’s build confident kids who know why they’re capable, because we’ve told them, and shown them, in ways that matter. #DrRobynSilverman #ParentingTips #BuildingConfidence #PraiseThatTeaches #ParentingScripts #PositiveParenting #GrowthMindset #RaisingStrongKids #PowerfulParenting #EmotionalIntelligence via Dr. Robyn Silverman https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCE2mhA6uAzX0vHYBoO9ncTg August 05, 2025 at 11:02PM

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Lmde7rMc_f4 Want to raise a confident leader? Start with a powerful handshake! 🤝 Introducing the GUEST handshake method: G - Grip: Firm but gentle, not too loose or crushing. Teach your kids to find the perfect balance. U - Upright: Stand tall, shoulders back, and give space. Confidence starts with posture! E - Eye contact: Trust lives in the eyes. Encourage your kids to look at the person, but not too intensely. S - Shake: Calm and controlled, from the elbow. No wrist or shoulder shakes! T - Time it right: 2-3 seconds max. Too short or too long can be awkward. Teach your kids to own their presence and make a great first impression. 💥 #RaisingLeaders #ConfidentKids #ParentingTips #DrRobynSilverman #GUESTHandshake via Dr. Robyn Silverman https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCE2mhA6uAzX0vHYBoO9ncTg August 04, 2025 at 08:04PM

How to Help Kids Handle Lifes Challenges #shorts

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/PfV13u2SKyo When kids hit those moments of meltdown, when the plan falls apart and emotions take over, they don’t just need discipline, they need tools. We can teach them that big feelings aren’t bad… they’re information. What matters most is what they do with those feelings next. So let’s give them a simple reset: ✅ Settle yourself ✅ Speak to yourself with compassion ✅ Ask for what you need It’s not about perfection. It’s about practicing adaptability, again and again, so they grow the confidence to handle life’s curveballs with courage. Let’s raise kids who don’t crumble when life gets messy, they regroup and keep going. #RaisingResilientKids #ParentingTips #EmotionalIntelligence #DrRobynSilverman #ChildDevelopment #BigFeelings #ResilienceTools #ParentingScripts #CalmParenting #GrowthMindsetKids via Dr. Robyn Silverman https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCE2mhA6uAzX0vHYBoO9ncTg July 31, 2025 at 08:02PM

How to Help Kids Learn How to Give #shorts

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/LJgqUH1aqOA I've found that when kids see the why behind giving, something shifts, it’s no longer about letting go of stuff, it’s about lifting someone else up. When we make giving tangible, meaningful, and part of our family identity, we raise kids who want to give, not just because they’re told to, but because it feels right. So next time your child outgrows a toy or gets birthday money, ask: Who could this help? Because giving isn’t just a moment. It’s a mindset. And we get to help shape it. #RaisingGivers #CharityStartsAtHome #ParentingScripts #PowerfulWords #FamilyValues #DrRobynSilverman #HowToTalkToKids #ChildDevelopment #EmpathyInAction via Dr. Robyn Silverman https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCE2mhA6uAzX0vHYBoO9ncTg July 31, 2025 at 07:01AM

How to Help Kids Strive for Excellence #shorts

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/S9TXHUv3Ulk Excellence doesn’t come from getting everything right the first time, it comes from asking bold questions, embracing challenges, and knowing when to reach out for help. When kids understand that growth isn’t about being perfect, but about staying curious and brave, they stop fearing mistakes and start seeking progress. So next time your child struggles, remind them: Striving for excellence means showing up, staying in it, and growing through it. That’s the real win. #ExcellenceOverPerfection #GrowthMindset #ParentingScripts #HowToTalkToKids #RaisingResilientKids #DrRobynSilverman #PowerfulWords #ChildDevelopment #LeadershipStartsYoung via Dr. Robyn Silverman https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCE2mhA6uAzX0vHYBoO9ncTg July 31, 2025 at 02:01AM

How to Argue Less Talk More Communicate Better with Jefferson Fisher #shorts

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/JrRk7KQ4hLs When our kids say something rude or off-putting, our first instinct might be to scold. But what if we paused, and got curious instead? In my recent conversation with Jefferson Fisher on the podcast, he shared a powerful strategy I absolutely love: Ask them to repeat it. Most kids won’t say it the same way twice. Why? Because deep down, they know it wasn’t okay. Then, follow with a question of intent: “Did you say that to hurt my feelings?” It opens a doorway to empathy and awareness, without a lecture. Kids are constantly testing out language, tone, and power. Let’s guide them with calm, curiosity, and connection. 🎙 Catch the full conversation on How to Talk to Kids about Conflict and Communicating with Calm, featuring Jefferson Fisher on the How to Talk to Kids about Anything podcast. #HowToTalkToKids #ParentingTips #RaisingEmotionallyIntelligentKids #DrRobynSilverman #JeffersonFisher #ParentingScripts #PeacefulParenting #EmpathyInParenting #CalmCommunication via Dr. Robyn Silverman https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCE2mhA6uAzX0vHYBoO9ncTg July 29, 2025 at 09:26PM

3 Steps Reset Every Child Can Learn #shorts

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/kuEwjQexzmY I’ve watched my own kids go from total frustration to calm problem-solvers using this exact reset. And honestly? I’ve had to use it myself more than once. Because plans fall through, that’s life. But how we respond? That’s where the power lives. When we teach our kids how to pause, breathe, and pivot, we’re not just helping them in the moment, we’re giving them lifelong tools for handling disappointment, change, and challenge. Next time things go sideways, just say it with them: Pause. Breathe. New plan. #AdaptableKids #ParentingTips #ChildDevelopment #ResilientKids #ParentingScripts #ProblemSolvers #LifeSkillsForKids #DrRobynSilverman #HowToTalkToKids via Dr. Robyn Silverman https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCE2mhA6uAzX0vHYBoO9ncTg July 24, 2025 at 07:04PM

GUEST Handshake Raising Confident Resilient Kids #shorts

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/zBgZvulvZF4 We don’t just want our kids to look confident, we want them to feel it deep down. Because confidence isn’t built in a day, it’s built in the everyday. It’s in how we prepare them to show up, speak up, and stand tall in spaces that might feel intimidating. A handshake is just the start; what really matters is what they believe about themselves when they offer it. That they belong. That they matter. That they have something valuable to say. So keep practicing. Keep encouraging. And remind your child: their presence is powerful. #RaisingLeaders #ConfidentKids #ParentingWithPurpose #ChildDevelopment #SocialSkillsMatter #HowToTalkToKids #DrRobynSilverman #KidsCanLead via Dr. Robyn Silverman https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCE2mhA6uAzX0vHYBoO9ncTg July 23, 2025 at 07:03PM

When Your Teen Asks Are You Disappointed in Me? #shorts

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/xMr770XUzK8 When your teen asks, “Are you disappointed in me?”, it can stop you in your tracks. This is a moment that matters. Try saying: “Nothing you do will ever stop me from loving you. I might not love every choice, but I always love you. I’m so glad you came to me, tell me what’s on your mind.” Why does this work? It reassures them that your love isn’t conditional. It reminds them they’re safe with you, even when they mess up or feel ashamed. Short. Simple. And it keeps the door open so they can talk it through with you instead of shutting down. Your kids need to know they are more than their mistakes. Save this for when you need it, and share below: Have you ever had a moment like this with your teen?

Power With Moments with our Kids #shorts

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/l4KP7QdoTag "Power over is only going to take you and your relationship so far… Power with is what really creates deep, lasting connections with our kids.” I love how Dr. Lynyetta Willis puts this. In our recent conversation on the podcast, we talked about how everyday routines, even something as simple as winding down together with an audiobook at night, can be an incredible opportunity to co-create solutions with our kids instead of just trying to control them. When we shift from power over to power with, we don’t lose our authority, we gain trust, teamwork, and real influence. It’s these small moments of connection and collaboration that strengthen our bond and help our kids feel safe, seen, and capable. Could your family use more “power with” moments? Start with one tiny routine and watch what changes. Listen to this full conversation with Dr. Lynyetta Willis, it’s packed with insights that can transform your parenting. The episode is out now on How to Talk to Kids About Anything. #PowerWith #ConnectedParenting #ParentingPodcast #ParentingTips #HowToTalkToKids #DrRobynSilverman #FamilyConnection #ParentingAdvice #CoRegulation #BreakingCycles #EmpoweredParenting #RaisingKidsWithLove via Dr. Robyn Silverman https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCE2mhA6uAzX0vHYBoO9ncTg July 17, 2025 at 10:02PM

How to Heal Our Family Out of a State of Stable Misery #shorts

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/nhzR4p8rg9Q Let’s talk about spanking. So many people say, “Well, I was spanked and I turned out fine.” I hear this all the time. Here’s what research actually shows: yes, fear-based discipline like spanking can stop a behavior in the moment, but it comes at a cost. When a child is hit, their brain goes into survival mode. That fight-flight-freeze response is the “red zone.” And when kids are in the red zone, they can’t truly learn. Their brains are wired to survive, not to absorb lessons. So what do they actually learn? To fear you, to shut down, or to hide things next time. You can’t teach skills, respect, or better choices in that state. Connection, not fear, is where real learning sticks. Parenting isn’t about “winning” a moment. It’s about building trust that lasts for years to come. It’s okay if you grew up with spanking, many of us did. But we know better now, so we can do better for our kids. Save this, share it, and let’s break old patterns together. Listen and learn more in my conversation with Dr. Willis and follow to grab more scripts and tips that help you parent with connection and courage. #ParentingTips #PositiveParenting #ParentingWithoutFear #ConnectedParenting #StopSpanking #CycleBreaking #GentleParenting #ParentingSupport #ChildDevelopment #DrRobynSilverman #ParentingAdvice #RespectfulParenting #HowToTalkToKids via Dr. Robyn Silverman https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCE2mhA6uAzX0vHYBoO9ncTg July 17, 2025 at 03:02AM

When Your Child Says Nobody Likes Me #shorts

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/HMBbNekA4Nw When your child says things like “I can’t do anything right” or “Nobody likes me,” it’s so natural to want to jump in and fix it right away. But what they really need in that moment is you, your calm presence, your curiosity, and your empathy. Instead of rushing to reassure or solve, pause and: 1️⃣ Clarify: “What makes you say that?” or “Did something happen today that made you feel like that?” Their words are clues. Let them lead you deeper. 2️⃣ Empathize: “That sounds really hard.” Or, “I’ve felt that way too.” You don’t have to agree with the belief, just sit with the feeling. 3️⃣ Listen: Hold the space without explaining it away or fixing it immediately. When we listen well, kids often find their own strength and perspective again. You don’t have to panic, fix, or have all the answers, you just have to make way for the story behind the sentence. That’s where trust and connection grow. 💛 #ParentingTips #EmpathyInParenting #ParentChildConnection #HowToTalkToKids #DrRobynSilverman #ActiveListening #RaisingResilientKids via Dr. Robyn Silverman https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCE2mhA6uAzX0vHYBoO9ncTg July 11, 2025 at 10:03PM
