Sick or Something Else? Reading Between the Lines as a Parent

Every parent knows that moment — your child says they don’t feel well, but something feels… off. Is it really a stomachache, or is something else going on beneath the surface? In this episode, we talk about what could be behind those “sick days” — the emotions, overwhelm, and quiet signals our kids send when they need a break, not a bandage.

We’ll explore:
 💭 Why kids sometimes use “I’m sick” as a safe way to say “I need rest”
 ❤️ How to respond with empathy (without ignoring boundaries)
 👂 Practical ways to open up conversations about feelings and stress
 🏠 And how to know when it’s okay to let them stay home

Whether you’re a parent, caregiver, or teacher, this episode will help you look beyond the symptoms and connect with your child on a deeper level.

✨ Listen now and learn how to read between the lines.
