This week, let’s talk about not being able to talk.

See if you recognise this.
You’re with your kid. Something comes on the car radio, or the telly.
A horrible news story, about rape, or abuse, or something like that.

You feel it in your body. I need to say something.
But you can’t.
And you don’t. And the moment passes.

Been there? We all have.

It can be so painful, to feel so keenly that the moment is now, for you to speak,
and to not be able to find the words.

But here’s the thing.

The point is to talk, even a little bit -
even if all you talk about, is not being able to talk.

It’s not only ok to do this with your kids - it’s actually quite good.
It models for them that it’s ok to be vulnerable.
And it tells them that there’s no unsafe place to go, when it comes to chatting with you.

We have scripts for you, to make these convos about convos, easier.
And before you know it, it’ll be easier for you too.
