Listen "Episode 210 - Achievement Culture: What parents can do to bring balance"
Episode Synopsis
This week let's talk about the challenges many parents face in our fast-paced, success-obsessed world. First, how we as parents might contribute to achievement culture through our expectations and demands. Second, how to help bring balance and reduce the hustle and striving that is so destructive to the mental health and happiness of our children.
From academic pressure to extracurricular overload, kids are increasingly caught in a "more is better cycle." But as parents, how can we provide balance, foster self-worth beyond trophies and test scores, and teach our children that rest, curiosity, and joy are as important as hard work?
Join me and explore the signs your child might be struggling under the weight of achievement culture, practical ways to set healthy expectations, and strategies to create a home environment that values effort, growth, and emotional well-being over constant results. Whether it's rethinking schedules, encouraging downtime, or redefining success as a family, this episode offers actionable tips to help your kids—and you—find balance in a high-pressure world.
Tune in to learn how to raise resilient, well-rounded kids who know they are more than their accomplishments!
