Right now it can feel like the entire world is falling apart. Everywhere you look, it feels like there is chaos. Do you feel it in your family? We have two teenage boys, 13 & 15, and I know they are feeling it and seeing it everyday. They see so much of it through social media. And it just feels extra loud. I find myself having to discuss with them pandemics, rioting, protesting, human rights, race issues. All of these things feel heavy. And I never feel like I have the right words. But I do know that it is important to continue to have open conversations, to listen...and it is ok if we struggle in the process. In this episode I share a bit of my heart. I may not have all of the answers, but I do know social media and I do know parenting. And I know there are so many influencers-influencing our kids thoughts everyday. The news is loud, These voices are loud. But are we taking the time to discover who our children are allowing to influence their lives. And then are we really listening to what our kids have to say? I hope this episode will encourage you to dig in, remain open and listen.
