Love this Clare! Thanks for the reminder to give space and time to tricky situations, and that we best support our kids by not getting caught up in their overthinking or low mood. Brilliant! 🤩

When my son was in middle school, I remember the principal saying, “The middle school years can be like a rollercoaster. Don’t get on the ride with your son!” 🤣I love how your talk reminded me that truly listening is more than enough. It can be hard for me to not want to fix things for my son, but it’s always a beautiful moment when he has his own insights. Thank you for your clear and confident guidance, Clare! 🙏🏻

Love what you say about just being there, Clare - no action needed. You can just allow the dust to settle and isn’t it interesting how something can turn from problem to non-issue without any input at all!!

This talk feels like a much needed simplification of how to be with our teens’ big emotions. It makes so much sense. Thank you for the reminder that emotions aren’t a problem. We can support them more easily than it seems and show them their resilience along the way.
