Be Careful What You Say; Your Kids Are Listening

The Mister Brown Show

This is a follow-up episode to our podcast “4 Tips To Help Parents Navigate the 2020/2021 School Year.” In normal circumstances, kids pick up on every juicy tidbit we talk about in front of them. Especially now with the stress and angst of the school year unknowns, it can be easy to express our fears, doubts, and bad feelings out loud and not realize that our kids are hearing every word we say. They are hearing our words and taking on those stresses and attitudes as well. This episode is about how we can best communicate our feelings about the 2020/2021 school year without affecting our kids negatively.
Kids are a driver of who your family is and your family values. They can contribute. Listen to your kids. They may be scared and confused about the 2020/2021 school year too. But do your hard processing away from little ears. Do the work of processing where you’re at, so you can be present for your kids. Be intentional about taking care of yourself, so that you can show up as the responsible grown person your kids need. This is a powerful way to help your kids learn how to cope when life is out of their control.
