Raising Kids with Love and Boundaries

How to Get Your Child to Talk to You: 4 Powerful Tools Every Parent Needs.

Camilla McGill Episode 9

You know something is up with your child and you can't get them to talk to you and open up.

Maybe they show signs of aggression that are unusual for your child.

Maybe they've shut down emotionally and they’re  internalising things. 

You know something isn't right.

What do you do?

Camilla is joined by Dr. Rebecca Schrag Hershberg, a clinical psychologist and parenting coach, to explore "How to Get Your Child to Talk to You: 4 Powerful Tools Every Parent Needs." 

Together, they discuss why children may shut down emotionally and how parents can encourage them to open up. 

They delve into four actionable strategies:

1 Modelling how to talk about your own feelings, 

2 Using "I wonder" statements instead of direct questions, 

3. Engaging in the "hand squeeze game" to ease into tough conversations, 

4. Responding with attentiveness when your child does share. 

Whether your child simply says "I'm fine" when they’re clearly not or is struggling to share their feelings, this episode provides compassionate and practical advice for parents wanting to foster deeper connections. 

The conversation also includes how to respond when your child says, "Nobody would play with me today."

If you’ve ever struggled to get your child to talk, this episode is for you
