We are bringing back a true fan favorite from 2024.

As the Greene family is grieving the loss of their sweet dog, Tanner, this conversation feels like the kind of steady, supportive reminder we all need, especially when life feels heavy. If you have kids (or love someone who does), this one is worth a re-listen.

Building self-confidence in children is a pivotal aspect of their development, and there are practical ways to strengthen it without adding pressure or unrealistic expectations.

Join Rebecca Greene, Whinypaluza’s podcast host, and her husband, Seth Greene, CEO of Market Domination LLC, as they share their perspective on what actually helps kids build confidence. They talk about encouraging children to try new things, discover their passions, and focus on personal goals. They also caution against the harmful effects of comparison, especially between siblings or friends, and instead encourage resilience and a growth mindset. The Greenes highlight the role of supportive adults in a child’s life, including teachers and coaches, and the impact of open communication, celebrating progress, and recognizing a child’s uniqueness.
