Summer is here, which means that kids find themselves with more free time to spend with their friends. Late night parties, campouts, and sleepovers are what childhood memories are made of and, as parents, we need to ensure that all those memories are good. 

Does your child know what to say if a situation is making them uncomfortable? Do they have a plan of action they can implement if necessary? It’s important that you have this difficult talk with your child before allowing them to go to even the most trusted friend’s house for a playdate or sleepover without you.

Whether it’s a scary movie, a prank that could get them into trouble, or a situation that threatens their safety and privacy, these phrases will help a child learn to speak for themselves. Teach your child it is okay to speak boldly and firmly repeat each of these statements until the situation is resolved. Always remind them that they can call you at any time and you will be available to pick them up if needed. They never have to stay in an environment that makes them feel uneasy. 

6 Phrases To Teach Kids To Say When They Are Uncomfortable  

  • This isn’t a good idea. My parents wouldn’t want me to do this.
  • Let’s do something else that’s more fun.
  • This is making me feel uncomfortable.
  • No! Stop now.
  • Jesus, please help me. 
  • I don’t feel well and I want to talk with my parents.

It may seem like common sense, but in the same way in which we teach children to say “please” and “thank you”, we must teach them to speak up when they feel their values or safety are being compromised. Give them the words to say to get out of potentially dangerous or harmful situations.
