Kids experience a lot of emotions—and sometimes those feelings can change by the minute. As parents, it can be hard to know how to help our kids understand what they’re feeling and express themselves in healthy ways. 

In this episode we sit down with author, speaker, and family coach Dr. Josh Straub to talk about why emotional awareness matters and how parents can create space for meaningful conversations about feelings.

Josh and his wife, Christi, have dedicated their work to helping families grow in emotional intelligence and healthy relationships. Together, they’ve written a children’s book series designed to help kids name and navigate their emotions. In this conversation, they discuss why helping kids identify their feelings is such an important part of spiritual and emotional growth, how simple tools can help kids express what they're feeling, and how parents can guide their children to invite God into every emotion—from anger and worry to joy and gratitude.

If you’ve ever wondered how to help your child talk about big emotions—or how to respond with empathy when feelings run high—this episode offers practical encouragement and simple ways to start meaningful, faith-centered conversations at home.
