👨‍👩‍👧 Empowered Parenting for Stronger Families
Course overview
Lesson Overview

7.62 – What to Say When Your Child Feels “Different”: Feeling different can make a child feel isolated or self-conscious. Parents should start by listening closely before offering advice. Validate the feeling without rushing to change it. Explain that everyone has unique traits that make them special and needed. Share examples of admired people who stood out for their individuality. Encourage environments where differences are celebrated, not hidden. Reinforce belonging by surrounding them with supportive peers or mentors. Teaching self-acceptance protects against peer judgment. The goal isn’t to erase difference—it’s to turn it into confidence. When children see diversity as strength, they grow into empathetic and proud individuals. Feeling different becomes a source of identity, not insecurity.
