On Let The Children Speak, we talk about how words hurt — not only the ones spoken to us, yet the ones we repeat inside our own minds. This episode explores how children learn to speak to themselves through correction, criticism, teasing, and silence. Over time, those words become habits. We begin using the same language on ourselves that once made us feel small. We look at how self-talk shapes confidence, identity, and emotional safety. We also talk about how changing our words can change how we grow. Because words stay. And the ones we say to ourselves may be the loudest.
