Because bottling it up never helped anyone.

Day 2 of CHD Mini-Camp is here, and today’s tool might just save your sanity: communication.

Scott and Jamie break down what happens when parents don’t say the thing they’re dying to say and what usually happens when they say it too soon. From 24-hour rules to sideline showdowns, this is your guide to keeping it together, getting it out, and doing it the right way.

In this episode:

• Why staying silent can make everything worse (even with good intentions)
• The power of the 24–36 hour rule - yes, even for texts
• How to approach a coach convo without being “that parent”
• Teaching kids to speak up and model it like a grown-up
• Why hanging out at the rink door isn’t communication, it’s chaos

Takeaway Tool: “Clear is Kind”
Say what needs to be said as the camera sees it, not as your emotions tell it.

If you're headed into a season with big feelings, tough rosters, or just general unease... don’t go quiet. Speak up, but speak smart.
