She had begun to believe she was a bad person because of how she'd been behaving. Through coaching, and connecting through deeper conversation, sharing my own memories of childhood, my behavior at her age, my feelings, and showing her my own vulnerability, I helped her understand that we are all only human, and we all make mistakes and we can all learn from them. It's not about being "good" or "bad," but about being human. Making time for her, hearing her feelings, allowing her to feel, giving her a safe space to talk openly and without judgment, the moment where she realized that she was simply 'human' was the moment that flipped the entire script.
It wasn't months, or weeks, it was a matter of days before we heard her wandering around the house saying, "I'm a fallible human being, I'm a fallible human being," and she was back to her happy, confident self.
This one moment in my own parenting journey transformed me. I realized that if this could happen to a child from a loving home with two parenting coaches as parents, it could happen to any child, but that most parents don't have the tools to guide their children through these moments and instead, children can end up feeling shame or repressing their emotions.
I created The Happy Confident Club to provide the support needed to empower children with the language, tools, and self-awareness to understand themselves, express their feelings safely, and grow with confidence. Because every child deserves to feel great about who they are, and to become the best version of themselves.
