Scripts for Hard Conversations

Navigate emotionally charged conversations with children.

What it is

A library of scripts for the conversations parents most often dread or avoid. Having the words ready means you can stay regulated when your child needs you most.

When to use it

Before — not during — the conversation. Read them in advance so the language is already in your mouth when the moment arrives.

How to use it

  1. Identify the conversation that's coming up.
  2. Read the matching script out loud once or twice.
  3. Adapt the wording to sound like you.
  4. Lead with curiosity and short sentences.
  5. Leave space for silence — they often need it.
