Raising Independent and Confident Kids



Raising Independent Kids

“The greatest gifts you can give your children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence.”

― Denis Waitley

  • • Hosts Brigitte Jia and Katie Choo, both independent, creative, and confident teens, explore the importance of helping youth discover their own abilities and face their own struggles. Does independence suit some kids more than it does others? Do other cultures parent differently? Parents serve as a major influence in their children’s career development and career decision-making. Though we teens may believe that we are acting with complete independence from their wishes, parents definitely have a large impact on us in this aspect.

The duo interview Dr. Donald Moses, co-author of the book, Raising Independent, Self-Confident Kids. Dr. Moses explains clearly the importance of allowing kids to fail as well as helping them develop skills that will assist them to be fully functional adults rather than resorting to self-destructive behaviors. He talks about drugs and salaries in a no nonsense manner. Every teen and every parent needs to tune in to this episode of Express Yourself! as challenges are always on the horizon and this conversation has lots of answers,
