Episode 104: Helping Kids Find Hope in the Midst of Tragedy Apr 06, 2023

Show notes

Join David, Sissy, and Melissa as they focus on HOPE. This was set to be recorded last week and little did they know how their hope would be impacted by the tragedy that unfolded at the Covenant School. This recording was honestly the first chance they had to talk through the week…to process the loss and the grief and the moments of God’s goodness piercing through. Because, as the Uber driver they mentioned in the episode said, “We share the same hope.”

We who have run for our very lives to God have every reason to grab the promised hope with both hands and never let go. It’s an unbreakable spiritual lifeline, reaching past all appearances right to the very presence of God where Jesus, running on ahead of us, has taken up his permanent post… Hebrews 6:18-20, MSG

Episode 102: How to Care for Kids that Are Hurting After a School Tragedy Mar 29, 2023

Show notes

David and Sissy share more helpful tips to care for the kids in your life that are dealing with big feelings after the Nashville school shooting. This content originated on the Raising Boys and Girls IG (@raisingboysandgirls) on Tuesday, March 28. We continue to pray that your conversations lead to hope and peace.

A Few Ideas on Helping Kids who are Hurting:

Kids emotions are transient. Follow their lead.
Have conversations in doses. Kids need to come up for air more than we do.
Watch for: emotions bigger than the situation warrants, more clinging, tearfulness, regression, trouble sleeping.
Maintain routines. Kids thrive in structure.
Keep giving them space to feel. Process your feelings elsewhere.
Move with them toward empathy and purpose.
