In this episode of Protect Our Kids, Kristi gets honest and very clear about how the words we use as adults are shaping our children’s world. From classrooms to Congress, name-calling and intimidation have become far too normal, and our kids are watching every second of it.

Kristi explores what happens when cruelty becomes entertainment, how online bullying mirrors the behavior modeled by adults, and why “locker room talk” is never harmless. Backed by research and years of experience working with kids and families, this episode is a powerful reminder: words can wound, words can heal, and the examples we set matter more than ever.
