In the wake of heartbreaking news in Texas, I am talking with psychologist Dr. Ken Wilgus about how to walk our kids—and ourselves—through tragedy, fear, and anxiety.

We will discuss:

  • When it’s okay to “look away” from constant news
  • How to know if your child needs help processing trauma
  • What to say when teens ask hard questions about faith in the suffering
  • The pressure today’s parents feel to get it all right
  • Why anxiety in kids is normal—and how to respond calmly

Dr. Ken also talks about the need for a reality check on today’s overanxious, over-informed moms and dads. He reminds us: You’re only a parent. It’s not all up to you. And sometimes the most faithful thing you can do is simply show up, listen, and offer perspective in your children’s lives.

I can't wait for you to hear today's show!
