When Kids Ask Tough Questions

Kids have a knack for asking questions that are tricky, painful, or impossible to answer. How can we answer our kids' tough questions effectively, especially when the answers are hard—or don't exist?

We've all been there: our kid asks us what heaven is like, and whether dogs can go there too. Or why some people are homeless. Or why that person over there doesn't look like other people.

Sometimes we rush to smooth things over, or chastise them for what is probably honest curiosity.

Other times we overexplain, answering with a confusing lecture when what they really wanted was reassurance.

In this episode, we talk about how to find the best balance.
