Stephanie Ashyggton on Raising Confident and Emotionally Healthy Kids | 1,707
Stephanie Ashyggton believes children do not need to be told who they should become. They need the freedom, understanding, and encouragement to discover who they already are.
A Children's Wellbeing Consultant and founder of Authentic Kids, Stephanie, affectionately known as Steph, is passionate about nurturing children's emotional awareness, individuality, and natural curiosity about the world.
Drawing from her professional background as a Specialist Public Health Nurse and her personal experience as a home-educating mother of four boys, Steph brings a thoughtful perspective to childhood development, emotional connection, and self-discovery.
Her work explores the importance of helping children stay connected to their feelings, instincts, and sense of self while creating environments where sensitivity, intuition, and individuality are respected rather than dismissed.
Through Authentic Kids, Steph encourages families to approach childhood with greater openness, curiosity, and trust, allowing children to explore their experiences without pressure to conform to predetermined expectations.
Her message is simple: children do not need to be shaped into someone else's idea of who they should be. When we give them the space to feel, question, explore, and trust themselves, we help them grow into who they authentically are.
