What Children Tell Themselves: How the thoughts kids form shape feelings and what we can learn from them

Children notice everything. They watch, they listen, and they build rules about the world and themselves. Most adults only see the behaviour, but the real story begins in the thoughts that come first.

In this episode, my kiddo joins me as a guest while we hang out together and put these ideas into practice. We explore how children interpret experiences, how those rules shape emotions, and why listening really matters more than correcting. We practice noticing thinking, pausing, and considering a fairer, gentler perspective together.

Whether you’re spending time with a child or reflecting on the rules you carry yourself, this episode is about understanding how thoughts become feelings and how a little attention can make a big difference.
