069 - Fostering Resilience Over Weakness in Our Children with Naomi Aldort

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!For more wisdom from Naomi, please see podcasts #'s 5, 6, 27 and 28.In this interview, Naomi shares with us:Why the topic of teaching resilience is so top of mind for herWhat Naomi sees as a result of young adults not being able to handle criticism and challengesThe issue of getting accolades with no meritThe pendulum swing in parenting as a result of parents wanting to give their children a better experience than they hadHow our programming started when we were babiesHow children are being taught to not be able to handle real lifeNaomi's approach to teaching children how to handle offensive commentsSensitivity vs. fear for self imageHow by cheerleading for our children we create fragile individualsHow we condition children to seek approval and to be victimsThe game Naomi created to help people accept being called namesWhy focusing on emotions too much is not a good thingHow we are unconsciously teaching our kids not to be able to handle rejectionThe importance of boredom and daydreamingThe importance of allowing our kids to experience some discomfort and challengesNaomi's view of bullies and bullyingThe importance of teaching kids that they can and will recover from their painThe importance of self-expression and not suppressing feelingsHow self-expression is not a means to an endHow self-censorship encourages bullyingNaomi's view of how being defensive is an act of warHow we raise children to be addicted to comfortThe importance of raising kids who can can handle real life, real people and criticismHow to empower them to face life and not rescue themand more!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.Please share this interview with people who can benefit from this point of view, we don't hear about it enough these days!Check out my store page for discounts on various products at: https://www.sovereigncollective.org/shop/Get in contact with Naomi Aldort:https://naomialdort.com/Buy Naomi's book:https://naomialdort.com/book/Find Naomi on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/naomi.aldorthttps://www.facebook.com/authenticparentIf you like what you heard here then please share!
