## Resource

Why do so many teenagers look confident on the outside while struggling with insecurity on the inside? In Episode 160 of High Performance Parenting , Greg Francis sits down with his 15-year-old daughter Crissy for Part 2 of their conversation about entrepreneurship, responsibility, purpose, and what actually builds confidence in kids. Crissy shares what she's learned from starting businesses, selling products at art fairs, building SuperKids, competing in tennis, learning from failure, and taking on responsibilities she once didn't think she could handle. And her perspective on teenage confidence might surprise you. In this episode, discover: Why authentic confidence comes from accomplishment, not appearance How responsibility increases a child's capacity Why kids should start building skills before adulthood What entrepreneurship teaches about failure and perseverance The difference between parents creating opportunities and forcing achievement Why preparation creates confidence How business lessons translate into sports and everyday life Why purpose, leadership, ownership, and responsibility matter for kids Crissy explains that her parents could provide opportunities and guidance, but they couldn't make her care, learn, apply the lessons, or build the community for her. Ultimately, she had to take ownership herself. Want to learn more about SuperKids? Text SUPERKIDS to 33777 for more information.
