How to Teach Your Kid to Choose Right Over Wrong #shorts

👀 Ever caught your child sneaking a turn in a board game… or “borrowing” a sibling’s hoodie without asking? You’re not alone. The real question is: How do we help kids choose right over wrong—even when nobody’s watching? Here are 3 key questions I teach my own kids: 1️⃣ Gut: What is my gut telling me to do? 2️⃣ Eyes: Would I do this if Grandma, my teacher, or my coach were watching? 3️⃣ Switch the Lens: If someone did this to me, how would I feel? These simple checks help kids build integrity—so they can lead with honesty whether eyes are on them or not. 💡 📕 For more scripts and tools to tackle tough conversations, grab your copy of How to Talk to Kids About Anything today. #HowToTalkToKids #DrRobynSilverman #RaisingLeaders #ParentingTips #Integrity

How to Talk to Kids about Overthinking #shorts

Kids can be "champion overthinkers". When big feelings feel too big, they may: ➡️ Build “walls” of over-planning ➡️ Anticipate every problem ➡️ Bark orders at others ➡️ Ruminate until they’re stuck But here’s the truth: overthinking doesn’t protect them—it overwhelms them. ✅ Instead, we can teach kids to: 1. Name and express their feelings (all of them—happy, sad, angry, disgusted). 2. Share those feelings with trusted adults. 3. Ask: *“What would help me feel calmer right now?”* 4. Break big problems into **manageable first steps.** This helps them handle the emotions of the present without spiraling into the future. 🌟 📕 Want more tools and scripts like these?

Parents, this one’s for you. 🌟 We give so much to our kids, our families, our work, our communities… but sometimes we forget to give to ourselves. 💙 Here are 4 things every parent deserves: 1️⃣ A break – you don’t have to do it all right now. 2️⃣ Credit – for using your skills and doing hard things well. 3️⃣ Permission to say no – your plate is already full. 4️⃣ Permission to fail – you’re human, and mistakes are part of growth. ✨ You matter in equal measure to those you care for and love.✨ Let this be your reminder today: Give yourself these 4 things. You’ve earned them. 💕 #ParentingSupport #DrRobynSilverman #StrongParentsStrongKids #SelfCompassion

Hey parents! Don’t do these 5️⃣ things if you want your kid to grow up and be kind and empathetic: 1️⃣ Overprotect - Let kids learn from their own mistakes. Challenges = learning! 2️⃣ Rescue Immediately - Guide them in problem-solving instead of solving it all. 3️⃣ Ignore Emotions - Validate feelings so kids express emotions constructively. 4️⃣ Overpraise - Balanced feedback builds healthy self-esteem. 5️⃣ Shield from Challenges - Encourage appropriate risks + responsibilities for independence.

My Parenting Moment

✨ Parenting isn’t about being perfect—it’s about staying connected. One of my proudest moments as a mom was when my teen told me, “I tell my mom everything.” Even the awkward stuff. Even the tough stuff. When kids know they can come to us—without judgment—we win more than just a conversation, we win their trust. Let’s keep talking, listening, and showing up. That’s where the magic happens.
