Parenting in Smaller Steps with Mary Willcox Smith - Episode 178

<p>Mary Willcox Smith had the résumé of someone who had it all figured out: a ski company she launched at 26 in Switzerland, an MBA from INSEAD in France, and enjoyed a stint at American Express in NYC and Argentina. Then she had four daughters in five years, one with medical needs, and discovered competence alone wasn&#39;t enough. The turning point wasn&#39;t a new strategy — it was permission to stop doing more and start noticing what was already happening. That insight became the MicroStep Method®.

It reassures listeners that parents don&#39;t have to get every moment right, because repair itself can become one of the moments that builds trust and resilience often talk about how small, emotionally charged moments shape a child’s identity, confidence, and sense of self. </p>
