Back to School: Time to Give Your Child More Independence and Autonomy
About this episode
Lynn and Robin discuss promoting children's autonomy and the importance of allowing them to experience struggle and failure as the school year begins.
It’s a new school year, the natural time for a review and a reset. And to help with this, Lynn and Robin are focusing on how to promote your child’s autonomy, value (and tolerate) the experiences of struggle and failure, and—in this age of intrusion—how to step back with love. What does your child need to do more independently and can you get out of the way? WE'VE MADE PLAYLISTS OF OUR EPISODES TO HELP YOU FIND RESOURCES ON SPECIFIC TOPICS. Here is our first: For those brand new to the podcast, we suggest starting with this playlist featuring Lynn Lyons and the 7-part anxiety disruptor series as well as a 3-part series on the skills most helpful in managing anxious kids: flexibility, problem solving, and autonomy.
