“I WAS WORRIED YOU’D BE ANGRY.”

A difficult conversation can begin with a broken object, a hidden school note or something your child feels embarrassed to explain.

I DON'T WANT MY CHILD TO BE AFRAID TO TELL ME THE TRUTH is a practical workbook for parents and carers who want to make more room for honest conversations.

✓ Separate what you observe from what you assume.
✓ Practise listening before reacting.
✓ Replace accusations with clearer questions.
✓ Encourage honesty while maintaining reasonable boundaries.
✓ Take responsibility after an unfair reaction.

• 36 pages.
• Fictional everyday examples.
• Family conversation agreements.
• First-response and question-rewriting exercises.
• A conversation repair worksheet.
