Delta Prevention
When your child is upset, anxious, overwhelmed, angry, or shutting down, it can be hard to know what to say without making things worse.
Join Angela and McKinley from Delta Prevention for a practical Facebook Live on simple, real-life phrases parents and caregivers can use when kids are struggling.
We’ll talk about how to respond when your child says things like:
“Nothing.”
“I’m fine.”
“Leave me alone.”
“Nobody wanted to sit with me.”
“You never understand me.”
You’ll leave with a few steady, caring responses you can actually use in the moment, even when emotions are high.

When you look at this list does it feel easy or daunting?

Life skills aren’t taught all at once…they’re built slowly, over time.
From putting toys away, to cooking a full meal, to managing money and time.
Each stage of childhood brings new opportunities for growth.
But here’s the important part . . .
This isn’t a checklist to rush through.
It’s a guide.
Children develop these skills best when they feel:
✔️ Supported
✔️ Capable
✔️ Included in real life
Because confidence doesn’t come from being told what to do—
it comes from doing it alongside someone who believes in them.
So if your child isn’t doing everything on this list yet…
that’s okay.
💛 Follow their pace.
💛 Stay connected.
💛 Invite them in.
That’s how life skills—and confidence—are built.

You know that moment when you ask your kid to do something simple… and they say, “What do I get?”
That’s when you realize rewards might be running the house.
In this episode of Prevention in My Kitchen, we’re talking about one simple shift:
Let rewards be… actually rewarding.
Rewards aren’t the problem. But when everything has a payoff, kids start thinking, “If I don’t get something, why do it?”
That’s when family life turns into constant negotiation.
The truth is, the rewards that work best aren’t money or prizes. They’re your attention, your time, and your words. When you notice effort and say it out loud, you’re building motivation that lasts.
This week, take a look at what’s happening in your house.
Are rewards building habits… or creating negotiations?
And yes, we’re making PB&J baked oats while we talk about it—because this is real life, and prevention happens right in the middle of it.
