S14E05 : Relationships and Romance

The Parenting for Faith podcast

Show Notes

As Valentine’s Day rolls around, Anna and Jess chat about romance and relationships. They explore how we can help our children and teenagers have a God-focused view of their lives and see how relationships might fit in with that. They chat about the various ways the media has shaped what our young people believe are ‘successful relationships’. They've got some tips and ideas of how to talk about it all, without pressure or awkwardness. They share how to use the Parenting for Faith tools of Framing and Unwinding to tackle this topic with the children and teens in your life.
