Aren't we supposed to shelter our kids from embarrassment?!?
In this episode we unpack some of the benefits of inoculating your kids against embarrassment and long term confidence that can be built with the right intentional support.

Our 29 year old daughter will join us as a guest on this episode, and discuss how we embarrassed her and how that helped her in high school and beyond, along with how she's putting this principle into practice with her own kids.

Finally, we’ll leave you with a couple of practical ways you can put this counter-intuitive concept into practice depending on what stage your kids are in.

As always, we don’t expect everyone to agree that this concept is correct or is right for your family but if it gets you thinking and more intentional with your parenting then it’s worthwhile.
