Khloé Kardashian knows that eventually, her children will want to talk about "childhood trauma."

On Wednesday, the Good American co-founder and reality television star premiered the new episode of her Khloé in Wonder Land podcast with guest Jay Shetty.

Around the 27-minute mark of the video below, Kardashian brought up her children—True, 6, and Tatum, 2—whom she shares with ex-boyfriend Tristan Thompson.

Kardashian said that while their lives are enjoyable, the kids may one day want to talk about their trauma.

"We all have trauma. Whether it be big, or small," Kardashian told Shetty. "I always joke, I’m like, 'Well my kids better not talk about childhood trauma because they have the best freaking lives.'

"And they do! But it’s going to happen. It’s the inevitable," she continued.

After Kardashian shared her thoughts, Shetty commended her with being aware that True and Tatum may one day "disagree" with aspects of how they were raised.

In an interview with Bustle published last month, Kardashian admitted that she feels often regrets exposing her children to perfectionist behavior.

"I notice sometimes my kids will want to line their toys up a certain way, and then I feel bad because I’m like, 'Oh gosh, they’re mirroring what I’m doing.'" she told the publication. "I know these are silly examples, but I’ve learned it’s OK for me to show a messy room because I don’t want them to feel like everything has to be perfect."

She continued, "I’m so much kinder to other people than I am to myself. With my kids, I had to learn, well, why do I give so much grace and empathy and understanding to everybody else? It’s OK for me to give myself that same patience and grace."
