Before we can negotiate with others, we must first learn to negotiate with ourselves — to balance our inner voices, our fears, and our dreams. Imagine if children were taught early on to recognize their emotions, to pause before reacting, and to choose compassion over self-criticism. How different might their futures be? In a world that often rushes them to grow up too fast, teaching children to understand and value themselves may be one of the most powerful life lessons we can offer.    In this episode, Cindy Watson sits down with the inspiring Armida Espinoza to explore “Teaching Our Children To Negotiate With Themselves.” Armida, a first-generation Mexican American and retired bilingual teacher, has dedicated her life to empowering young minds. As an author and advocate for children’s emotional and cognitive development, she brings a powerful message about nurturing self-awareness, confidence, and inner dialogue from an early age. Through her work, Armida encourages children to find their voice, recognize their worth, and understand that no matter their age, they have the power to make a meaningful impact in the world.   This conversation with Armida Espinoza reminds us that self-negotiation isn’t just a skill — it’s a foundation for resilience, empathy, and authentic confidence.   In this episode, you will learn:   <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> Why it’s critical to start learning at a very young age. </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> How can parents or educators support kids in developing their skills? </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> How does the book help children negotiate with fears and uncertainties when they are faced with unfamiliar experiences or environments to learn new things. </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> How can hope be a part of a child’s internal negotiation process. </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> How to recognize which voice to listen to. </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> How to negotiate your own inner critic. </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> And many more! </li> </ul>   Learn more about Armida: Website: <a href= "https://www.armidaespinoza.com/">https://www.armidaespinoza.com/</a> Instagram: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/armiespinoza/">https://www.instagram.com/armiespinoza/</a> Facebook: <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/ArmidaEspinozaAuthor/">https://www.facebook.com/ArmidaEspinozaAuthor/</a>   Get her book! <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CJSXHTJ7?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_MFMT0NE52AXQYGVQ2ABC"> Amazon US</a> <a href= "https://www.amazon.ca/Brave-Loliss-VALIENTE-LOLIS-ESPERANZA/dp/B0CJSXHTJ7"> Amazon Canada</a>   If you’re looking to up-level your negotiation skills, I have everything from online to group to my signature one-on-one mastermind & VIP experiences available to help you better leverage your innate power to get more of what you want and deserve in life.
