Don't Be Too Quick To Give Your Child Advice!

I know how tempting it can be to jump in and offer solutions when our child is struggling with something, and I have certainly been guilty of doing this with my three - both when they were children and sometimes now, even though they are all grown-up!
But, the truth is that even though it feels like we are being kind and helpful, we actually damage our child's self esteem when we do this. 
In this week's video - which is the third in our mini-series all about boosting a child's self-esteem - I talk all about how to listen without being too quick to jump in with advice, and I also share another tip you can use to try and boost your child's self esteem.
Warmest wishes
