This week David caught himself telling one of our kids to "be careful" for no real good reason. Our drive to protect our children is a good desire. However, we can seek to keep them safe because it makes "us" feel better.
What's the right balance? This looks different for each family, each kid, and at different age stages. We unpack the balancing act in our family for trusting our kids and giving them more freedom and responsibility while still keeping them age-appropriately safe.
Also, Rachael has a ball laughing with (and at) David about his childhood imaginary friend!
The Stat of the Week is all about FBI crime data (via Wikipedia). We cover property crimes including burglary, larceny (which we learn is different than burglary), and car theft.
We truly appreciate you listening! If you are encouraged by this episode, be sure to share it with a friend who might benefit from this conversation or who just needs a good laugh at our expense.
