Raising Boys & Girls

Join us today for our final week with The Worry-Free Parent miniseries. After talking about Understanding the Past and Help for the Present, it’s time to talk about Hope for the Future. In this week’s episode, we not only talk about hope, but also about trust. We remind you to trust the process, trust your gut and most importantly, to trust God. We give practical ideas around what that trust looks like in action. And speaking of action, we want to remind you to grab a copy of The Worry-Free Parent Workbook. The workbook allows you to take all the learning to the next level. Keep learning. Keep practicing. You’ve got this. . . . . . Order The Worry-Free Parent or The Worry-Free Parent Workbook today!

As we continue journeying through The Worry Free Parent content, we’ve moved from understanding to help. This week we talk through help for the mind, help for the body and help for the heart. You’ve heard us say before, and we will keep reminding you, that we can only take the kids we love as far as we’ve gone ourselves. If it’s difficult for us to quiet the voice of worry, and practice these game-changing skills ourselves, it will be hard for our kids to do the same. Practicing these skills allows kids to see it on the grown ups they trust the most. It also allows us to be more of the parents (and people) we hope to be. . . . . .

You likely know Dr. Curt Thompson from his ground-breaking work in The Anatomy of the Soul, The Soul of Shame and The Soul of Desire. We were honored to sit down in conversation with him to talk about his newest book, The Deepest Place: Suffering and the Formation of Hope. We shared a rich conversation around what suffering and hope look like in the context of parenting. Dr. Thompson has worked at the intersection of neuroscience and Christian spiritual growth for decades. He was kind enough to share parts of his own story, and what he has learned through the journey of parenting himself. Enjoy this conversation with Dr. Curt Thompson. . . . .

We talk a lot about building resilience into kids in our offices. It felt timely and important to share a conversation with our friend, Rebekah Lyons, about her new book, Building a Resilient Life: How Adversity Awakens Strength, Hope, and Meaning. We talked about turning toward anxiety and not away from it, and even what that looks like in the context of parenting. We also talked about moving kids toward meaning and purpose, something we’ve seen bring about tremendous growth and change. . . . . .

Join David, Sissy, and Melissa as they focus on HOPE. This was set to be recorded last week and little did they know how their hope would be impacted by the tragedy that unfolded at the Covenant School. This recording was honestly the first chance they had to talk through the week…to process the loss and the grief and the moments of God’s goodness piercing through. Because, as the Uber driver they mentioned in the episode said, “We share the same hope.” We who have run for our very lives to God have every reason to grab the promised hope with both hands and never let go. It’s an unbreakable spiritual lifeline, reaching past all appearances right to the very presence of God where Jesus, running on ahead of us, has taken up his permanent post… Hebrews 6:18-20, MSG . . . . .

David and Sissy share more helpful tips to care for the kids in your life that are dealing with big feelings after the Nashville school shooting. This content originated on the Raising Boys and Girls IG (@raisingboysandgirls) on Tuesday, March 28. We continue to pray that your conversations lead to hope and peace. A Few Ideas on Helping Kids who are Hurting: Kids emotions are transient. Follow their lead. Have conversations in doses. Kids need to come up for air more than we do. Watch for: emotions bigger than the situation warrants, more clinging, tearfulness, regression, trouble sleeping. Maintain routines. Kids thrive in structure. Keep giving them space to feel. Process your feelings elsewhere. Move with them toward empathy and purpose. . . . . . The Jesus Storybook Bible Sally Lloyd-Jones Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It's unthinkable that we're recovering from another school shooting that took the lives of innocent children and adults. Child and adolescent counselor, Sissy Goff shares helpful ideas on how to talk with kids after a tragedy like this. This content originated on Sissy's IG (@sissygoff) on Monday, March 27 in the aftermath of the shooting at The Covenant School in Nashville, TN. We pray your conversations lead to hope and healing. How to Talk to Your Kids After a School Shooting: Stay Calm Be the Source. Let them lead. Give them space to feel. It's okay to feel with them, not to process with them. Answer questions age-appropriately and honestly. Talk about what they can control. Look for the helpers. Be one. Ask what would help them feel safe at school. Don't feel like you have to have all the answers. Remind them of truth you know. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
