Why Does My Child Copy Their Friends? Apologise All the Time? Or Never Ask for Help?

In this episode of Ask Deb, I answer three questions from parents that explore confidence, belonging and the emotional beliefs children develop about themselves. In this video we explore: Why some children copy everything their friends do and how to help them develop confidence in who they are. Why some children apologise constantly, even when they've done nothing wrong, and what this may reveal about their self-worth. Why some children refuse to ask for help, even when they're struggling, and how to create an environment where asking for help feels safe instead of shameful.

As always, we'll look beyond the behaviour and explore the emotions, needs and experiences that may be driving it. When we understand what's happening underneath, we can respond in ways that strengthen our relationship with our children and help them develop lifelong emotional intelligence.
