The #1 answer I get when I ask parents what they want for their kid: confidence.

Why? 

Because deep down we all know confidence is the secret ingredient to face life's ups and downs, to be attractive to others (non-romantically speaking), and to take safe risks that move us forward. And, I'd argue there's no other stage of child development that tests a person's confidence than middle school.

You can't force confidence. It's built over time through micro-moments, decisions, and experiences, and we all go through moments of not feeling our best (as I share). If you practice the strategies I share here even 50% of the time, I'd bet money your kids' confidence will soar.

Here are some hints to pique your interest: 

>Tip #1 hint: it might sting and bruise your ego, but it's true

>Tip #2 hint: everyone has a gift

>& Tip #3 hint: it might be sloppy, but it's essential

Here's to elevating each and every kid to be a confident, kind human. 

Keep uplifting yourself and your middle schooler. You deserve it. ~Ashley
