Course overview
Lesson Overview
10.7 – Encouraging Open Expression of Needs: Everyone deserves to feel heard and supported. Teach children to say what they need using calm, clear words. Ask questions that help uncover deeper feelings beneath behavior. Model expressing your own needs without guilt or blame. Listen without rushing to fix the problem right away. Praise courage when someone speaks up honestly. Create a “safe time” where anyone can share freely. Keep reminders that asking for help is a strength, not weakness. Open expression reduces misunderstandings and builds respect. Families grow closer when needs are met with care.
