Today's question says, "We have neighbors who ask to play with our children nearly every day. I do not allow my children to play with them unsupervised. There has been too much crude talk, unbiblical ideas and violent play when neighborhood children are left to play unsupervised. We do desire to minister to the children in our neighborhood, but it seems to be derogatory or stressful on our own children for that to be allowed. I would love thoughts on how to navigate this situation."

Today's question says, "In a culture that is completely immersed with Taylor Swift, how do we as parents navigate this as Christians?

Today's question is, "How can I teach my four-year-old that Christianity and the Bible do not actually contradict science even though the world claims they do? I have always struggled to understand science, and I know of people who have walked away from God believing that the Bible and science contradict each other."

Today's question says, "Do I need to explain to other children at the kindergarten level that their classmate, my lovely daughter, has Down syndrome slash special needs, or do I just let them discover it as they grow up? She's the only one in her class who has Down syndrome."

How to Discuss Special Needs with Young Children

Today's question says, "We raise our daughters seven and eight years old in the reformed tradition as children of the Covenant. However, this deconstruction fad worries me, even though they're not on social media. How do I foster an environment in which they feel free to express their doubts instead of looking for answers elsewhere?"
