One Hour to Grow Closer

Raising Kids Who Know Their Worth

A podcast series by Shawn Hopkins, CTACC – Parent Coach, Foster and Adoptive DadToo many kids are growing up believing their worth depends on what they do, how well they perform, or whether others approve of them. Sound familiar? It might be the message you were handed growing up, and it’s likely your child is picking up on it too.This podcast series is here to help break that cycle.As a parent coach and dad raising two boys who have lived through trauma, I created this series for parents like you. Parents who are doing the work to raise emotionally healthy, self-respecting humans, even when the road has been hard.Each episode offers real-life stories, practical strategies, and honest insight grounded in child and teen development. You’ll walk away with tools you can use right now, and maybe even a little healing of your own.This is your moment to pause, reset, and remember that you’re not just raising a kid. You’re raising a future adult who knows their worth.🎧 Start listening now:
