243 Claire Miller: The Power of Storytelling to Build Confidence & Connection

Hey Friends~

When your children start telling you stories, have you ever wondered how to keep that creativity going? How about when what they tell is outlandish, imaginative, and there is no logic at all, have you been concerned you should stop it? It’s easy to shut them down in our fast-paced analytical, task-oriented mind.

How do you engage your children in a way that expands their ideas and expression when you can’t really relate to WHAT they are saying but you want to relate to THEM!

Today’s guest does a fabulous job to demonstrate HOW she uses story creation with kids. She exemplifies how to be curious and validate your child’s creativity, even when your kids are a bit too silly for your liking. She gives us a format, an example, and a description, which gives you intention for letting your interaction build your child’s language, confidence, and connection.

If you have a child with big ideas or struggles with confidence or language, this episode is for you!

Always cheering you on!
