When something scary happens, one of the hardest questions for a parent can be: “What do I say?”
Whether it's frightening news, a community tragedy, an accident, severe weather, violence, loss, something happening at school, or simply something your child saw online, kids and teens often hear more than we realize.
And they don't always tell us they're struggling.
Sometimes it looks like repeated questions.
Sometimes it's trouble sleeping, irritability or clinginess.
Sometimes it's “I don't care.”
And sometimes it's a teenager who seems completely fine — but can't stop scrolling.
The Scary Stuff Conversation Kit was created by a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist to give parents and caregivers practical tools for navigating those moments without needing to find the “perfect” words.
This isn't a long workbook your family has to complete. It's an 8-page, practical conversation kit designed to be pulled out when real life gets hard.
Inside you'll get:
Age-specific conversation scripts for ages 5–8, 9–12 and teens
A simple 5-Minute Check-In to uncover what your child has heard, what they're worried about, and what they need
A Behavior Decoder to help you look underneath reactions like anger, withdrawal, repeated questions, clinginess and doom-scrolling
The My Brain, My Facts, My Control worksheet for separating fears from facts and identifying what's actually within their control
A Parent Response Cheat Sheet with alternatives to “Don't worry,” “You're fine,” and “That could never happen”
Guidance for recognizing when your child may benefit from additional support
A simple Tonight's Reset for bringing connection, routine and calm back into the evening
You don't have to have every answer.
Sometimes your child simply needs to know:
“You can always come to me with the scary stuff.” 🤍
