Welcome to the first episode in a special three-part series on helping understand your student developmentally and how you can help them grow in responsibility at home and at school. In this episode of The Griffin Rundown, Mr. Nees sits down with Carrie Serafimov, Assistant Head of Lower School at Peninsula, for a practical discussion on how we can support our children as they grow in character and resilience. The focus age group this episode is Jr Kindergarten through 1st grade.

Together, they explore how to help kids do hard things, honor and respect authority, and how to come alongside them without swooping in. They also highlight the importance of daily family prayer and meaningful conversations at home.

This episode is full of encouragement and insight for anyone invested in raising strong, thoughtful, and faith-filled children.
