Nothing prepares you for the moment your child comes home hurt by a comment from another parent. My kid, Alex, was crushed after a casual remark about their new shoes—something that seemed harmless but stung deeply. It’s a wake-up call about how much our words matter, even when we don’t mean harm. Kids pick up on everything, and what we say can stick with them. I’ve started paying more attention to how I talk around children and encouraging Alex to share their feelings. How do you handle these situations? Have you ever had to talk to another parent about something they said? #Relationships #Parenting #CommunitySupport
