Description
Ever told your child, "You're fine," or "Because I said so," and then wondered why it backfired? This honest, funny, and eye-opening guide is for every parent, teacher, or caregiver who’s ever said the wrong thing in the heat of the moment — and wants to do better without becoming a parenting robot. In this refreshingly real book, Louise Maurice unpacks 10 everyday phrases that seem harmless but can quietly chip away at a child’s confidence and trust. You’ll learn what kids actually hear when you speak, why certain words hurt more than help, and what to say instead — even when you’re tired, stressed, or about to lose your cool. With simple swaps, relatable examples, and healing alternatives, What NOT to Say to Your Kid helps you build stronger connections through better conversations. No guilt trips. No lectures. Just real talk that makes parenting feel a little lighter — and a lot more loving. Read more
