How to Raise a Child Who Believes in Themselves | Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson | A Kids Co. (Re-Run)

Impostor syndrome in kids is more common than we think, and how parents respond to self-doubt can shape their children’s confidence for life. Joining host Elise Hu is Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson as she reflects on her built resilience and found motivations throughout her life. Justice Jackson shares her best strategies for combating impostor syndrome, and finding community in a new space after becoming the first Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court of the United States. She and Elise reflect on practical parenting tips touched in Jackson’s New York Times bestselling memoir Lovely One, now adapted for young adults, and gives words of advice for getting our kids to persevere and sometimes, simply try.

Key Takeaways:

Listen to, engage with, and encourage your kids to help build their confidence.

Reframe hard times or hard work as opportunities for growth.

Find community in new spaces to help build belonging and resilience.

Acknowledge and celebrate your successes to remind yourself of your value.

Remember where, what, and who got you to where you currently are as a method for combatting impostor syndrome.
