Raising Resilient Kids in a Digital World: Lessons from Emotional Schools
Manage episode 493546833 series 3346838
Are your kids truly ready for the challenges of life?
In this powerful conversation, Cam sits down with Leroy Slanzi — a veteran educator, principal, and author of Emotional Schools. With 25 years of experience working with kids and parents, Leroy offers a no-nonsense, practical framework for building emotional intelligence and resilience in children.
Together, they explore:
- The “perfect storm” facing today’s families, from social media to parental burnout
- How dads can plant seeds of resilience from birth through teen years
- Why purposeful observation matters more than hovering
- The power of micro-dosing engagement and letting kids safely fail
- Practical strategies to build passion, grit, and self-regulation at every age
If you want to show up as a present, intentional father — without becoming a helicopter parent — this conversation will give you tools, encouragement, and a blueprint to raise emotionally healthy kids in a disconnected world.
Leroy shares personal stories, hard-won lessons, and inspiring ideas you can put into practice right away.
Let’s keep the conversation going!
