Season 2 | Episode 5 | Help Your Kids with Comparison | Help Your Kids Podcast

Welcome to Help Your Kids, the parenting podcast that’s here to walk alongside you through all the challenges and joys of raising emotionally healthy kids.

This week, your hosts, Dr. Mish Seabrook and Shelley Smith, dive into a topic that many children and young people struggle with: comparison.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why children naturally compare themselves to others and how this can affect their confidence and self-esteem

• The impact of social media, friendships, and everyday pressures on the way children see themselves

• What you can do to help your child build self-worth and appreciate their own unique strengths

Mish and Shelley bring their unique perspective as both therapists and parents, sharing practical strategies, gentle mindset shifts, and real-life insights to help families navigate comparison with compassion and confidence.

Whether your child is comparing their appearance, friendships, achievements, or abilities, this episode will leave you feeling more informed, reassured, and equipped to support them in a world that often encourages comparison.

Our episodes drop every other Monday, to set you up well and offer some gentle reminders for the week ahead. Catch us wherever you stream your podcasts!
