Description

Do you ever feel like pulling teeth just trying to get your child to share their thoughts or feelings?


In this episode of Mom Life Uncomplicated, I share my personal journey with my son — an introverted kid who didn’t love to talk — and the simple tool that changed everything: the communication journal.


In this episode, you’ll learn:




  • How to set up a communication journal that feels fun and safe




  • Why writing works better than talking for many introverted kids




  • Example prompts that actually get your child to open up




  • How to respond with empathy and keep the trust strong




  • Why patience and consistency are key in building lasting connection




If you’ve ever wished you could peek inside your child’s thoughts, this tool might just be the game-changer you need.
