Expat Republic Leiden

In this empowering webinar, we explore one of the most transformative principles in child development and self-healing: the power of choice. Drawing from Robbie Zein’s insightful book Choices, we will look at how providing meaningful choices to children can build their confidence, develop their decision-making abilities, and strengthen their sense of identity. At the same time, we’ll turn inward to understand how our own relationship with choice as children shaped the inner narratives we carry today.

What This Webinar Is About
As adults, we sometimes forget that children—just like us—crave agency. When we ignore their need to choose, we not only restrict their autonomy but risk damaging their self-esteem.

Conversely, by inviting them into age-appropriate decision-making, we empower them to grow into thoughtful, confident, and resilient individuals.

At the same time, many of us carry wounds from a childhood where our voices were ignored or our choices dismissed. These unhealed parts of us—the inner child—often shape how we parent, teach, or respond to others.
This webinar also invites you to explore and gently heal those memories by reconnecting with the child you once were, and offering yourself the compassion and choices you may have missed.

Why This Webinar Matters
✅ Learn how to engage children in decision-making in a way that boosts self-worth and emotional growth.
✅ Discover practical ways to offer children choices—even in everyday situations.
✅ Understand the link between unacknowledged childhood needs and adult behavior.
✅ Begin healing your inner child by re-examining your own experiences with autonomy, voice, and validation.

Who Should Attend?
This webinar is perfect for parents, teachers, caregivers, and individuals on a personal growth journey. Whether you're seeking to raise confident children or to rewrite your own inner story, this session offers wisdom, compassion, and practical tools rooted in real-life examples. Join us for a deeply moving and practical exploration of how the power of choice can shape not only the lives of children, but also the lives of the adults they become.

Although the U.S. boasts an incredible and innovative economy, beautiful nature and robust opportunities, many Americans decide to live abroad. They can be in search of personal or professional growth, adventure, or to simply retire.

Experiencing a new culture is both exciting and engaging. For most countries, however, once you have left, you cease to become a tax resident and therefore pay no income tax. But, as a U.S. citizen, you are taxed based on your American nationality, not necessarily only where you live. Therefore, as an American living abroad, you must file income taxes and report certain items to the IRS and the U.S. Government.

In this webinar, we’ll walk you through what you need to do in order to comply with U.S. regulations, as well as some tips and tricks to do so efficiently and painlessly.

We’ll discuss:
