Your words shape your child's world—more than you know.

In this special milestone 250th episode of the Family Meeting Podcast, the four Osterkamp girls take over the mics to talk about what you should never say to your children. We're sharing real comments from our Family Meeting community, powerful research on the lasting effects of negative language, and the biblical call to speak life over our kids.

You'll hear:

• Phrases that leave lasting emotional scars—even if said in frustration.
• The long-term impact of negative words on your child's identity and confidence.
• What the Bible says about the power of the tongue.
• How to reframe correction, discipline, and disappointment without damaging your child's heart.
• What the Osterkamp daughters say really stuck with them growing up.

This episode is honest, eye-opening, and filled with grace.

Whether you're a parent, grandparent, or leader of the next generation, this conversation will challenge you to speak life, not labels.
