2020 has been a year of hard things.  And we feel like we should be talking to our kids about the different events, but how do we do that?  What should they know and not know?  In this podcast, we share 10 tips for talking to your kids about hard events that are happening in the world around us.  From COVID-19 to Black Lives Matter, we hope this episode helps these conversations happen in your home in an open and loving way.
