When your child brings up a painful memory from the past—or shares something hurtful they’ve never told you before—it can catch you off guard. In this episode, we talk about how to respond in the moment, what to say (and not say), and how to help your child feel safe and supported while they process their emotions.

You’ll learn:

• How to respond when kids share past hurts or painful memories
• What to say to build trust and connection with your child
• Ways to stay calm when your child’s story triggers your own emotions
• How to help kids process old wounds without shutting them down
• Why listening well is the first step to healing

Whether it’s a small hurt or a big wound, you’ll get practical strategies for supporting your child, strengthening your relationship, and creating a safe space for honest conversations.
