Welcome to Chalkboard to Kitchen Table with Trish and Eileen.
Ever feel like your child is speaking a totally different language?
In this episode, we talk about translating kid-talk because what kids say isn’t always what they really mean.
“I’m fine” might mean I’m overwhelmed.
“You’re the worst” might really be I’m disappointed and don’t know how to say it.
“I don’t care” could be I care so much it feels safer not to try.
As moms and teachers, we break down the hidden messages behind common kid phrases and show parents how to respond to the feeling underneath the words without taking it personally or jumping straight to fixing.
This episode is all about slowing down, listening between the lines, and staying connected when emotions run high. Because when we translate their words with empathy, we teach our kids that they are understood and that’s where trust grows.
See you at the table!
