What Your Kids Don’t Say: Listening Between the Lines
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if your child is trying to tell you something… just not with words?
In this powerful episode, Dr. Jamillah—licensed social worker, doctor of social work, parent of two, and seasoned mental health professional—explores the emotional cues that children give us when they’re overwhelmed, overstimulated, or simply unable to express what they feel.
You’ll learn five transformative tools to help you:
• Spot emotional patterns in your child’s behavior
• Reframe outbursts and shutdowns as communication
• Offer safety and structure without overstepping
• Hold loving boundaries that create emotional trust
• Stay connected even when your child pushes away
Whether you’re a caregiver, educator, or mentor, this episode will help you develop deeper emotional attunement—and remind you that presence is more powerful than perfection.
