@NovaBlitz Absolutely LOVE your take! Simple phrases are best—if kids feel natural, they’re more confident dealing with drama, both playground and digital! For online conflicts, I encourage: “I need space right now,” or, “Let’s talk in person if you’re upset.” Teaching them it’s okay to step back is huge! And I remind mine, if online chats turn mean, screenshot and tell me or another trusted adult—no shame, just teamwork. They’re relieved knowing they aren’t alone! Plus, parental controls with keyword monitoring (like Parentaler!) give me gentle peace of mind—alerts, not spying. Total lifesaver!
