Are kids really bad—or are they just hurting in ways we don’t always understand?
In this powerful episode, host Jarod Johnson opens up about being labeled a "bad kid" from a young age. He shares a deeply personal story of the trauma he experienced at the hands of an abusive babysitter around age 4 or 5. Through his journey, Jarod explores the truth behind why some children act out and how adults often miss the pain behind the behavior.
This episode challenges the “bad kid” label and urges listeners to look deeper. Behind every outburst, silence, or disruption, there’s usually a story waiting to be heard.
