Phrases to Swap for Confident Kids

BIG LIFE JOURNAL


Confidence starts with the conversations we have every day. When we shift our language to encourage, validate and empower, we give our kids the tools to believe in themselves - even when challenges arise. Small swaps make a big impact, one phrase at a time.

COMMITTING TO FAMILY TIME - WHY IT'S IMPORTANT

NATURAL HIGH


More family time leads to a stronger foundation for teens. They will feel more connected to people who will always support them, giving them a greater capacity for appropriate risk-taking in the world. They will also feel more grounded and less anxious therefore reducing the likelihood that they will turn to harmful substances.
