If my kids aren't prepared for seeking approval in life, that's a problem. They need to learn that there's not going to be somebody else around. They might not have any answers, so I'll say like I have an idea or two: do you want to hear that?
Ever wondered if there’s a different way to raise confident and self-reliant kids? Bob Gardner, the host of 'Alive and Free', shares his unconventional parenting techniques that might just make you rethink your approach. In this episode, titled 'How Does Bob Parent?', Bob reveals why he avoids congratulating his kids on their achievements.
Instead of showering them with praise, he asks questions like 'How do you feel about your drawing?' This helps his children learn to validate themselves rather than seeking approval from others. Bob’s methods might sound a bit strange, but they’re all about fostering self-confidence and independence in his kids. Bob also dives into why shielding children from failure can stunt their growth. He believes that experiencing disappointment and solving their own problems prepares kids for the real world.
Throughout the episode, Bob shares personal stories that illustrate how these strategies have worked for his family. He emphasizes that every child is unique and encourages parents to find techniques that fit their individual needs. This episode isn’t just for parents; it’s for anyone interested in understanding how to nurture self-worth and resilience in the next generation. Bob’s insights are practical, sometimes counterintuitive, but always aimed at helping children grow into confident, capable adults.
Tune in to discover how you can apply these principles in your own parenting journey.
