Teaching Children to Love Themselves with Kasey Edwards

Today I am speaking with Kasey Edwards, a writer and researcher and the author of the international bestselling Raising Girls Who Like Themselves. She mixes humour, heart and credible research to write about issues such as raising children, work satisfaction, motherhood and body image. She has a wide readership, with an audience of over 10 million worldwide, and is a passionate champion for girls and women.

I believe that a lot of what Kasey teaches parents in ‘Raising Girls Who Like Themselves’ relates to teaching children and feel that the ‘pillars’ she speaks about can also be facilitated in the classroom. 

Kasey and I speak about:

• Why Kasey wrote the book ‘Raising Girls Who Like Themselves?’
• Reparenting
• The Power Perspective- Children can control how they respond to things
• Catastrophising- Why is it and why it’s harmful
• ‘Beauty Praise’- Why it is damaging for children, especially daughters
• Overpraising in the Classroom
• Why Kasey And Chris encouraged their daughter NOT to join the High Achievers Program
• Homework can contribute to children hating learning
• Passion and purpose- Engaging children using a strengths-based approach
• Social Skills- Do we have to teach them? The importance of teaching children about conflict.

I know you'll enjoy today's episode.

Enjoy, Em x
