Full of careful wisdom from Rev Dr Israel and great help from Amy answering the questions that make you squirm. We loved this mic drop moment from Israel:
"It's not political correctness. It's kingdom correctness."
We're walking parents through the differences, the similarities and the sad: church in a cinema, "that's not fair" and kids being mean.

Let's learn how to help children when their emotions are swamping them.
We cover bean bags on your head, screen time to cope with the thrill of a baptism and Amy S goes woman-splaining to help Ed.
We learn that very often it's the normal stuff that helps our children: Hugs, comfort blankets and hand cream.
We also find out that while the principles stay the same, we may need to make adjustments for those who have experienced childhood trauma. Our churches can be places for their flourishing, because Christ and his people will always be good news.
