Lesson Overview

2.29 – Reducing Over-Explaining in Parent Talks: Parents often believe that more words equal more understanding, but over-explaining can overwhelm or shut down a child. Reducing over-explaining means trusting that short, clear messages are enough. Children process emotion faster than logic, so too many details can cause confusion or frustration. Speaking simply communicates confidence and calm. When you explain briefly, your child has space to ask questions, which builds engagement and critical thinking. Over time, this approach teaches independence—they learn to think rather than depend on lectures. It shows respect for their ability to understand and respond. Less talking and more listening create balance and clarity. The goal isn’t to fill silence—it’s to make meaning in it.
