When Talking To Kids About Hard Things, Choose Truth Over Comfort


Listen Later

Talking about illness or other hard topics with kids can be daunting. So it's understandable that you might want to put it off. But information doesn’t scare kids. It’s the lack of information that feels scary to them. In this conversation, Dr. Becky sits down with a mom who is struggling with how to have a hard conversation with her kids.
