Shownotes

What does it really mean to trust your child—and how is that different from being permissive or naive? In this episode, we talk with CHC experts, Marjan Ebadi, PhD and Dylan Stewart, PsyD, about the psychology of trust, from early independence to adolescence, understanding what is realistic throughout a child’s development.

We’ll talk about how parents can tell the difference between productive struggle and true distress, how to rebuild trust after setbacks, and how to resist the urge to hover while still keeping kids safe.

Ultimately, trusting our children—at every age—builds the foundation for confidence, self-reliance, and stronger relationships throughout life.
