Confidence Matters! is a radical and revolutionary shift in how to parent a teen or young adult confidently in today’s fast-changing and sometimes chaotic world. It is based on the knowledge that confidence is one of the most important foundations for success, mental wellness, leadership, and healthy relationships. This book breaks all the rules! It’s a playbook for Moms—and for anyone else who wants to raise a confident teen or young adult, including Dads, Grandparents & other Caring Adults.
The old models of parenting are dead. They just don’t work anymore for so many of our Moms and Youth. There’s a crisis at hand. A Youth Confidence Crisis. The solution is the Co-Pilot Parenting Model, in which a youth leads (Pilots) their own life, with the parent offering love, guidance, and support (Co-Pilot).
Superhero Confidence Expert and Youth Advocate DW Starr introduces the Co-Pilot Parenting Model, which involves shifting the role of a parent from boss to guide. This model creates a shared-leadership approach that builds youths’ independence without parental abandonment.
This book shows how confidence is a skill that can be practiced and strengthened both by You and your teen or young adult.
