Q&A: How can I support my child's self-confidence when she calls herself dumb?

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg and I talk about...

- The urge may be to talk your child out of thinking they're "dumb," but it can be helpful to stay with this feeling and lean into being curious about her experience.

- How to zoom out and determine if your child is speaking out of frustration and is just emoting or if they actually have internalized that they think they aren't smart.

- How to talk with your child in a way that helps build back their confidence in themself when they are struggling to learn something new, like reading.

- We also want to try not to catastrophize this situation either - just because your child is saying this doesn't mean they will permanently have a poor self-image.

- You can boost your child's self-confidence by feeling confident in their ability to handle the challenges they face.

- How to get clear with your kid about what they think "smart" and "dumb" means, and building flexibility around those ideas.
