What if everything you’ve been told about fear is just… a story?
In part two of this episode on building fearlessness in children, we take a closer look at how the narratives we hold as adults can influence the courage and confidence of the little ones we care for. If you missed part one, don’t worry—you can catch up here.
This week, we explore how rewriting your own limiting stories can inspire a fearless mindset in children. Whether it’s modelling resilience, embracing failure or fostering a growth mindset through music, this episode is full of practical wisdom for parents and educators alike.
Here’s what we’ll cover:
🌈 The surprising power of rewriting limiting stories as adults
🎵 Why music is a perfect playground for trial, error and triumph
