You don’t have to lie to protect your child’s feelings — but you also don’t have to crush their imagination. In this practical and compassionate episode, Victoria Talwar explains how to navigate hard conversations with kids while respecting their age, emotions, and fantasy worlds.

Explore the psychology behind childhood storytelling, grief, and emotional regulation. From “the chip aisle is closed” to “the police will come,” hear why certain parenting habits backfire — and how to build lasting, honest relationships without losing playfulness or warmth.
