As parents we want to raise up children who are bold, but how do we go about doing so? I want to raise children who speak up in the face of injustice.  I want to encourage my kids to take healthy risks and be courageous and confident.  In this Motherhood Monday episode, we explore four ideas for encouraging boldness in our children.  We’re going to talk about why it’s important to encourage our kids along their journeys, and not just focus on their destinations. It’s the emphasis on effort over outcome.  We’ll also discuss how we can encourage curiosity and be intentional about our response to making mistakes - both our own mistakes and our kids’ mistakes.  And finally, we’ll explore the connection between adversity and boldness and how important it is to recognize and celebrate when our kids are being courageous in trying something new.
