Phrases like “Because I said so” or “Stop crying” worked for compliance, but compliance isn’t the same as confidence or connection. When kids only hear words that silence or shame, they don’t learn how to communicate, repair, or respect themselves and others. Breaking that cycle starts with us. Every phrase we swap becomes a chance to model the skills kids actually need: resilience, empathy, and self-control. Big Kids, Bigger Feelings is filled with practical swaps and scripts like these so you can stop the chaos in the moment while raising kids who are confident and connected for life.
