  • Summary

  • Ever had a moment where your child says something so shocking that you're left wondering, Where did that even come from?! Well, you're not alone. In this episode, I dive into a real-life situation shared by a parent whose 10-year-old daughter blurted out some pretty intense words at school. But as with most things kids say, it’s not just about the words—it’s about the emotions bubbling underneath.

    We’ll break down why children sometimes lash out verbally, what’s going on in their developing brains, and most importantly, how parents can respond in a way that teaches rather than punishes. I’ll walk you through practical strategies, from creating a safe space for conversation to helping kids reflect on their actions without shame.

    If you’ve ever struggled with how to handle emotional outbursts or discipline without disconnecting from your child, this episode is for you. Tune in, reflect, and let’s navigate these big feelings together.
