Sonia Choquette: The Parenting Skill That Helps Children Trust Themselves

About this episode

What if one of the greatest gifts we could give our children isn't confidence, resilience or achievement, but the ability to trust themselves?<p></p>In this powerful Motherkind Moment, Zoe is joined by intuition expert and spiritual teacher Sonia Choquette to explore why so many of us lose trust in our inner knowing, and how we can help our children stay connected to theirs.<p></p>Sonia explains why intuition isn't a gift reserved for a lucky few; it's a natural human ability that children are born with. Together, she and Zoe explore how fear, overthinking and the pressures of modern life can disconnect us from our instincts, and why learning to trust ourselves may be one of the most important skills we can develop.<p></p>Sonia shares a simple exercise for reconnecting with your intuition, explains why validating your child's feelings matters more than having the "right" answer, and reveals the parenting approach she believes helps children build lifelong self-trust.<p></p>If you've ever second-guessed yourself, struggled to trust your instincts or wondered how to raise children who feel confident in who they are, this episode is for you.<p></p><strong>💡 In this episode, you'll learn:</strong><ul><li><p>Why intuition is a skill, not a gift</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>How fear and overthinking disconnect us from our instincts</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>A simple practice to help you reconnect with your inner voice</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>How to help your children trust themselves</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>Why emotional validation is so powerful for children</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>The parenting habit that strengthens confidence and self-belief</p></li></ul><p><strong>Loved this episode?&nbsp;</strong></p><p>You can listen to the full episode with Sonia Choquette - <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/why-so-many-mothers-feel-overwhelmed-and-disconnected/id1295306961?i=1000763195825">Why so many mothers feel overwhelmed and disconnected right now - and what to do next</a>.
