Summary

Children are wonderfully honest about what they’re feeling and thinking, and how they view the world around them. When they feel safe with us, they tend to lead from the heart, without filters. That can inspire some eye-opening and entertaining conversations! What happens, though, when our child openly makes observations or asks questions about another person's physical appearance or behavior? Or when they become fixed on an unsettling or argumentative opinion? Janet responds to 3 emails from parents who are (to varying degrees) uncomfortable with what their kids are saying and wonder if they should do more to correct and discourage them.

Janet's "No Bad Kids Master Course" is available at NoBadKidsCourse.com. Her best-selling books “No Bad Kids: Toddler Discipline without Shame” and "Elevating Child Care: A Guide to Respectful Parenting" are available in all formats at Amazon, Apple, Barnes & Noble, Google Play, and free at Audible (https://adbl.co/2OBVztZ) with a trial subscription.

0:35.3	Maybe nobody else will, but hopefully by the end of this podcast episode, you'll see it.
0:39.9	And hopefully my responses to these notes are helpful to you.
0:45.0	All three of these notes refer to a child expressing thoughts or opinions, a point of view
0:53.0	that is uncomfortable for the parent to hear.
0:57.2	In the first case, it's because the child's thoughts are embarrassing the parent in front
1:01.9	of other people.
1:03.9	In the second case, they bring up a concern about their child and the child's perceptions
1:09.7	about themselves.
1:11.6	And in the third, the child is sticking to a point of view that seems silly to the
1:16.7	parent and it's really annoying that they won't let go of it.
