Do you know a child who sometimes spins tales about their day? It’s a harmless, positive, playful expression of their vivid imagination. Nothing to fear! So, instead of trying to play it safe by relying on scripted responses like “tell me more,” for this situation (or anything else, for that matter), we can relax and engage authentically person to person. Scripted responses DISconnect us, and kids 100% feel the difference. Trust yourself, you’ve got this! | Janet Lansbury
