#1024 - Mirror, Mirror On The Wall
Manage episode 426615622 series 1230931
A listener has asked, “Should we tell our kids they are beautiful?”
It's ok to tell our kids they're beautiful, but we must ensure their sense of worth isn't solely tied to their looks. Focusing too much on appearance can make children rely on external validation and set them up to have a limited view of themselves. We share some helpful ways that you can encourage your child so they know they are enough, exactly as they are.
(R) This episode originally aired 16/8/22.
