Building Grit and Resiliency in Children with Ayana Rodriguez. Ep. 183 Part ONE

Welcome back! This episode's guest, Ayana Rodriguez, is the founder behind the award-winning premium childcare brand: Itavi. 

Itavi has gained undivided popularity across Florida and Hawaii. Born in 2019, Itavi was a response to what Ayana, a mother of three, saw as a gaping void in the childcare industry. 

Today I am so excited to speak with Ayana about the importance of raising resilient children in our modern society and how to cultivate a once highly dependent mindset of: ‘it takes a village.’ 

So with that, let's get started with Ayana Rodriguez. Tune in!

Quotes

 

“I am a parent in therapy working on my own childhood, so that I can go on and be a better mother.” - Nikki Spo

“Perspective is Changeable. You can learn to change your perspective, which is going to give you the tools, the approach, to adjust to a resilient resolve in a situation.” - Ayana Rodriguez

“I’m going to prove to you that I can, and this is how I’m going to. I may not have the tools now, but I'm going to figure it out because I know I want to.” - Ayana Rodriguez

“When we give everything to our children and problem solve for them, we are removing the opportunity for them to build the muscle of resilience.” - Nikki Spo
