How to Make Your Home a Safe Place for Your Kids to Open Up - Mary DeMuth

Do your children feel safe enough to tell you when something is wrong?

Mary DeMuth explains how parents can create a home where children feel safe to share their struggles, admit mistakes, and talk honestly about what they're experiencing.

It starts with us.

Mary shares how modeling weakness, apologizing when we blow it, actively listening, spending intentional time together, and assuming the best of our children can transform the emotional environment of a home.

One of the most powerful reminders in this conversation is that assuming negative intent destroys safety. When we constantly assume the worst about our children, they learn that home isn't a safe place to be honest.

Instead, Mary encourages parents to cultivate what she calls a “holy curiosity”—asking questions, listening carefully, and seeking to understand what's happening beneath our children's behavior.
