Hey you guys guys, we are so excited about this season of the podcast. We have so much good coming your way.

And you all, we wrote the book on my kids on track years ago, but it feels more important

than ever to be having these conversations.

So much has changed in terms of mental health for kids.

So much has changed in terms of mental health for us and social anxiety, all the things that feel really important. The

spiritual milestones haven't changed much but they feel more important than ever

to talk about in light of all the other things. So we're going to devote a

week to each milestone. We've got four emotional, four social, four spiritual milestones and we are going to track through each one. We're going to give you a lot of practical. We're going to have an expert come on and talk with us

about what it looks like to help kids and adolescents develop in that space. And then

we've had parents in the trenches in the past. We're super excited this time that we're going to have

counselors in the trenches. We're going to introduce you to the Day Star staff and we're

going to have conversations together about what it looks like to help kids build these important muscles.

So talk about what the 12 are.

I'm a preview for you. The emotional milestones are emotional vocabulary, perspective, empathy, and

resourcefulness, things we all need, social milestones are awareness,

reciprocity, ownership, and boundaries. The spiritual milestones are

foundation, identity, mercy, and meaning. And we're going to be talking

about stumbling blocks and building blocks for each of these milestones. You all, we are

so excited to have this conversation and we want you to hear us say there is so much grace on this

track for the kids you love and for ourselves we are all progressing towards the

milestones there's so much good news headed your way soon.
