Resources for Modern Parenting

Naomi Aldort, parenting coach, author and world renowned speaker, can help you raise resilient children who grow to be confident adults, rooted in themselves and not dependent on the approval of others.

Increasingly, our kids are being taught to not offend, to be inclusive and to be triggered in many scenarios. Do we really think this is doing them a favour?

The truth is, the real world can be an offensive place. We can never all be in agreement, and there will always be hard times to face. Would it not be more helpful to teach our kids how to go through hard times and to not depend on what others think of them or how they talk to them?

Life can be pretty tough when one takes everything personally. I don't know about you, but I don't spend much time around people who seem to require me to walk on egg shells. If I can't have a real conversation and risk disagreement, then I'm not very interested in pursuing that relationship.

This is where Naomi shines... in coaching parents how to raise children who are confident in their own skin and who feel right in the world, even if those around them might not be approving of them.

It's time to focus on building resilience rather than fostering weakness!

This is a super important and relevant topic always, but specifically in the time we live currently. Resilience used to be a trait we nurtured, but somehow we have allowed it to be swapped out for encouraging our kids to be easily offended, thereby cultivating a weak disposition.
