Theo's Invisible Backpack — Deep Dive: The Invisible Weight of Other People's Words
Kids don't drop hurtful words at the door — they carry them, stone by stone, in a backpack no one else can see. This episode unpacks how teasing and offhand comments accumulate, why children so often start to believe the worst of what they hear, and how a parent's quiet noticing helps them sort what's truly theirs to carry.
