Purposeful parent Yiayia Kapsalis shares powerful perspectives on facilitating self-worth and empowerment in our children. Yiayia is a certified parenting coach, certified parenting facilitator, future author of the book “Raising Moms & Dads”, mother of kids, grandmother of 19, and great grandmother to 2 & counting.

Yiayia discusses ideas such as recognizing how our upbringing affects our parenting, comparing our parenting styles to how our mom/dad parented us, comparing self esteem vs. self worth, giving children’s agency to make optimal decisions for themselves & others, assisting children with identifying their feelings - Asking questions, “What does hate look like to you?” when child says they hate someone, showing children how their emotions physically affect them, treat the BEHAVIOR - not the child, how respect is a cooperative endeavor, “all feelings are acceptable but not all are beneficial”, defining humility, giving children choices for things (ideally 2) to develop empowerment, & what we can learn from our children’s voices.

Yiayia’s parenting mission statement: “Live the legacy you want to leave behind, live the legacy you want to pass on to your children
