Ep. 7 : Support that Embraces Mistakes with Daniel and Christina Im

All kids are born into the world with the instinct to learn, explore, and figure things out, which means childhood is full of big bumps and messes! Dr. Jeffrey Olrick and Amy Olrick talk about what healthy support looks like for our kids, and why children grow stronger when we don’t overcorrect their mistakes.

Christina and Daniel Im of the IMbetween podcast join the conversation to discuss how understanding their kids’ need for support has strengthened their family. They share insight from their work and Daniel’s book, including how stepping back from over-support helps make Daniel a better video game player with his kids. That’s a #parentinggoal we can embrace right now.
