Is the Phrase "You're Okay" Harmful to Our Kids?

May 5, 2025 - 22:26

Is the Phrase

In a recent discussion among a panel of moms, the commonly used phrase "you're okay" came under scrutiny as an expert claimed it may be harmful to children's emotional development. The debate centered around whether this phrase, often used to comfort children during minor falls or disappointments, could inadvertently dismiss their feelings and hinder their ability to process emotions effectively.

The moms shared personal experiences, highlighting how they navigate comforting their children while still acknowledging their emotions. One mother argued that while the intention behind the phrase is good, it may lead children to suppress their feelings instead of expressing them. Another panelist suggested alternative phrases that validate children's experiences without minimizing their emotions.

In addition to this discussion, the panel also addressed crucial questions parents should consider before enrolling their kids in youth sports. They emphasized the importance of ensuring that children are emotionally ready and genuinely interested in participating, rather than feeling pressured to join. This conversation serves as a reminder for parents to be mindful of their language and the impact it can have on their children's emotional well-being.
