How do we raise kids who are confident enough to speak up, stand strong under peer pressure, and lead with courage? In this episode, we’re diving into practical, everyday ways to help children build confidence—whether they’re ordering at a restaurant, asking a librarian for help, or learning when to say “no.”

If you’ve ever worried that your child is too shy, struggles to speak to unfamiliar people, or tends to follow the crowd, this conversation will encourage you. We’re sharing simple ways to build courage from the preschool years so your kids grow into leaders who do what’s right—with confidence, wisdom, and love.
