Episode 27 - Building Confidence & Resilience

Through Rough Waters with Zach Allen

Tuesday, March 25, 2025 - 47 minutes

In this episode, Zach & Kevin are joined by therapist Linda Saum as we continue our parenting series by talking about building confidence & resilience in our kids. We talk about helicopter- and snowplow-parenting, how simply removing obstacles from our kids’ lives isn’t always the best thing for them, and ways we can create safe environments for kids to become more confident and courageous.
