In this episode, Ruqya Khan, a S.M.I.L.E Strategist and expert in coaching, shares powerful insights on creating a nurturing environment for children to thrive. Drawing from her personal experiences, Ruqya emphasizes the importance of being a safe space for children, fostering transparent communication, and understanding their perspectives. She believes that instead of rushing to "fix" every problem, parents should focus on listening, building trust, and nurturing core values through daily interactions. Shaun and Ruqya also dive into how parents can be more mindful of what they offer their children, not just in terms of food but also in media and overall consumption. They discuss the influence of parental behaviour, highlighting how children often mirror their parents' confidence and decision-making skills. Ruqya talks about practical strategies for enhancing awareness, including the power of silence, managing attention, clarifying intentions, letting go, and embracing possibilities. She underscores the significance of curiosity, self-trust, and releasing the need for perfectionism. The conversation encourages parents to be present, conscious, and confident in their roles.

Key Topics Covered:
  • Safe Space and Transparent Conversations: How to create a nurturing environment that promotes open dialogue.
  • Mindfulness in Parenting: Why parents need to be aware of their own behaviours and their impact on their children.
