This week's topic is biggy for a number of reasons. "I just want my kid to be confident" is the #1 request I get from parents. 

Authentic confidence is directly connected to where we all learn to feel successful from the inside out, and it really can build or break in these early adolescent years.

Inside this episode, you'll learn:

> What confidence really is

> The connection between confidence and perfectionism

> & The missing link to your middle schooler's confidence and how to connect with them around this topic to ensure they are on board without resistance

Confidence isn't something you can buy, and it certainly can't be forced upon your kid. Listen in now to learn how you can give your middle schooler an authentic, sustainable confidence boost, and how deeply connected it is to this season of the year.

P.S. It's the holidays, and school is on break soon (or now!), but since you're the adult you never stop thinking about what's coming around the corner, and you know that right after the holidays, a new year and school terms begins. 

Be honest. What comes up for you when you think about another school term starting? Do you have a sense of dread? Get a pit in your stomach? Feel overwhelmed because the last term was such a roller coast ride for you and your kiddo. Are you filled with some frustration, anxiety, or breakdowns?

If only you could actually begin the new year with your middle schooler with a fresh, clean slate and an understanding of exactly how to help your middle schooler build the skills they need to do what they need to do.

Well, parents, you are in luck.
