Our goal as parents is to raise children that can go out into the world and be successful, independent, and self-sufficient adults. But in order for this to happen, parents need to allow their children to learn the vital skill of self-advocating when they are still living at home. Coach Daelene Byam is on the podcast talking about how parents can teach their children to advocate for themselves by learning how to manage their emotions as well as deal well with failure. Daelene believes the home is where these skills are taught the most effectively as parents allow their children to be independent as well as show them how to be emotionally resilient and how to deal with failure by mirroring it for them. If you have a teen that you feel could use some help learning to self-advocate, be sure to reach out to Daelene and let her guide you in this process.
