In this episode of Family Time, I sit down with Norma Q-Brown, our Family Care Director, to discuss the fourth of our six “Critical Conversations” for parents: Dealing with Temptation. We explore how to help kids recognize and respond to temptation without shame, emphasizing grace, honesty, and open communication. 

Norma shares practical tips for building trust, normalizing temptation as a human experience, and equipping children with lifelong skills for integrity. We also talk about common barriers parents face and offer resources to support families on this journey. It’s all about progress, not perfection!
