75) Raising Resilient Kids: Building a Growth Mindset with Kerr Psychology

At age four, children begin the lifelong habit of comparing themselves to others. As parents, how do we ensure they see challenges as opportunities rather than failures? In this episode of Dam Parenting, we’re joined by Faye from Kerr Psychology to take a warm, honest, and direct look at building resilience and a growth mindset.

We dive into why effort-based praise is more powerful than labeling a child as "smart," and how to foster the intrinsic motivation they need to thrive. Faye shares practical strategies for expanding your child's emotional vocabulary, the importance of child-led play during big transitions, and how to reframe "don’t" statements into positive guidance. Whether you’re dealing with school-age comparisons or toddler frustrations, this conversation is packed with tools to help your child embrace the power of "yet" and grow into a confident, emotionally intelligent individual.
