Is Your Childs Identity holding them back or pushing them forward? #shorts

When kids talk about themselves, they’re building their identity in real-time. Are the words they’re using holding them back, or pushing them forward? “I’m awful at math.” “I’m stupid.” “I’m not good like you.” These words become beliefs. And beliefs shape choices, effort, and confidence. We can teach our kids to shift those limiting labels into growth-focused truths: 🌟 “I’m someone who tries new things.” 🌟 “I’m brave when it counts.” 🌟 “I need some extra help in this class, and that’s okay.” One powerful conversation, one small reframe, can help a child see themselves in a whole new way. Let’s help our kids choose words that open doors, not close them. Save this as your reminder and share it with someone who’s raising resilient, confident kids. I talk more about how to help kids shape their inner voice in my book, How to Talk to Kids About Anything #DrRobynSilverman #HowToTalkToKids #ChildDevelopment #ParentingTips #GrowthMindset #PositiveParenting #RaisingResilientKids #KidsMentalHealth #IdentityBuilding #MindsetMatters #ParentingSupport

How can we Help Children Gain Mental Strength #shorts

When our kids compare themselves to everyone else, they’re handing their power away, tying their confidence to what others do instead of what they can do. One of the best gifts we can give our children is the ability to stand strong in who they are, even when they notice what others have or how others perform. Real mental strength comes from within, and it’s something we can help our kids grow every single day. Instead of asking, “How do I measure up?” we want our kids to ask, “How am I growing? What do I need to feel proud of myself?” Try these ideas: • Teach your child to create a simple catchphrase that reminds them of their power, “I can do it” or “I am enough.” • Encourage them to write down their strengths and stick that note where they’ll see it every day, a mirror, their binder, or their desk. • Help them chart their own progress, not someone else’s. Our kids can’t always control what others do, but they can learn to see, appreciate, and strengthen what makes them shine. That’s true mental strength. Save this as your reminder, and follow me for more ways to help your kids build resilience and confidence, inside and out. #DrRobynSilverman #HowToTalkToKids #ParentingTips #ResilientKids #ChildConfidence #PositiveParenting #RaisingStrongKids #MindsetMatters #ParentingSupport #ConnectedParenting

7 Conversation Starters to to Go Deeper with Your Kids (Even with Tough Stuff) #shorts

Why do they work? They create safety, show respect, and remind kids they can share without fear of judgment. Here they are again with a short insight into why each one works: 1. Start with an Invitation, Not an Interrogation “Hey, I’ve been wondering what’s been on your mind lately. Want to talk?” Why it works: An open invitation gives your child the choice to engage, without pressure or putting them on the spot. 2. Be Curious, Not Critical “Tell me more about that. What was the best part? What was the hardest?” Why it works: Open-ended questions help kids reflect and share details. It feels like an exploration, not an interrogation. 3. Use a Gentle Bridge “When I was your age, I remember feeling… Does any of that feel familiar to you?” Why it works: Sharing a piece of your own story reminds your child they are not alone and helps them feel understood. 4. Ask Permission “Would it be okay if I asked you something? You don’t have to answer right now.” Why it works: Asking permission shows respect for your child’s boundaries. It gives them a sense of control over what they share. 5. Offer an Out “If you ever don’t want to talk about it right now, that’s okay. I’m here when you’re ready.” Why it works: Letting your child know they can pause or come back to a topic later removes pressure and builds trust. 6. End with Reassurance “I hope you know you can tell me anything, even the hard stuff, and I’ll still love you just the same.” Why it works: Kids need to know your love isn’t conditional on what they share. This feeling of safety makes them more likely to open up. 7. A Gentle Prompt for Next Time “What’s something you wish grown-ups asked about, but they don’t?” Why it works: This flips the script and invites your child to lead with what matters most to them. Conversations like these plant seeds. Even if they don’t open up right away, you are showing them you are ready whenever they are. Save these ideas, share them with a friend who might need them, and tell me: Which one do you want to try this week? #HowToTalkToKids #ParentingScripts #ParentingConnection #DrRobynSilverman #ParentingTips #DeeperConversations #EmotionalSafety

How to Reconnect with Kids in the Disconnected World #shorts

We live in a world that makes true connections harder than ever, and as parents, it’s easy to feel like we’re falling behind. Screens, stress, and busy schedules can pull us away from what matters most: truly seeing our kids and teaching them how to handle big feelings in a disconnected world. In this powerful clip from my conversation with the incredible Dr. Jody Carrington, we dive into the #1 lesson we want our kids to learn, emotional regulation. As Dr. Jody says, it’s not about telling our kids to calm down, it’s about showing them how to find calm in chaos by staying connected to them, even when they’re falling apart. When we model calm, steady presence, we give our kids the tools they need to come back to themselves, again and again. That’s how we reconnect, by being their safe place when the world feels overwhelming. If you’ve ever thought you’ve messed up because you lost your temper or life felt too hard, please remember: you haven’t lost your ability to be a good parent, you’ve just lost access to it for a moment. Take a breath, come back to connection, and keep showing your child how to stay grounded. This is how we close the gap in a disconnected world, one calm moment at a time. Listen to my full conversation with Dr. Jody Carrington about reconnecting with our kids in a world that pulls us apart, it’s out now on all podcast platforms. #DrRobynSilverman #DrJodyCarrington #HowToTalkToKids #ReconnectingWithKids #ParentingWisdom #ParentingPodcast #EmotionalRegulation #CoRegulation #ConnectedParenting #GentleParenting #MindfulParenting #ParentingSupport
