Episode How to Boost Your Child’s Confidence While Navigating Anxiety or Child OCD with Sharon West
Confidence can take a major hit when a child is struggling with OCD or anxiety. In this episode, I sit down with teen coach Sharon West to explore how we can nurture self-confidence in our kids—even as they battle intrusive thoughts, worry, and fear.
Sharon shares insights from her 15+ years working with teens—as a life coach, foster mom, youth leader, and mom of three. Together, we talk about how to give kids space to build competence, how to model self-compassion and resilience, and why peer connection is a vital part of helping our kids feel a sense of belonging.
Sharon also introduces her virtual teen program, Connected & Skilled—a supportive group experience where teens can grow in confidence, practice life skills, and connect with like-minded peers in a warm, judgment-free space.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• How anxiety and OCD impact a child’s self-confidence • • Practical ways parents can build confidence without rescuing • • The role of peer acceptance—and how we can’t create it, but we can support it • • How Sharon’s “Connected & Skilled” program helps teens build skills and self-worth in community •
