Using a Kind Voice

Feb 12, 2026 · 7 min · Ep 6

Sometimes, when you really want something, it's easy to forget to use a kind voice. In this story, Javi learns and practices how to use a kind voice. 

Grown-ups, try this at home! 

Did you try this with your child? How'd it go? Connect with us at [email protected], or on IG at @RealStoriesRealChildren and let us know! 

Tips for Caregivers:

  • Try practicing this in a neutral moment when your child is calm and regulated. 
  • Prioritize your child's needs - sometimes they may be unable to ask for something calmly, especially if they are hungry, thirsty, or tired. Just encourage the use of a kind voice whenever you can.
