Summary

We are living in an attention crisis! What does this mean for us, our families, and our culture? How does our distraction impact our marriage and our children? Does your child know that you care for them more than your phone? Today we cover the four questions your children are asking, even if you know it or not. We cover how we can undo the cycle of distraction and how we can answer the deep questions your child's soul that need to be answered. The questions they are asking are 1. Do you see me? 2. Do you care that I'm here? 3. Am I enough for you, or do you need me to be better in some way? 4. Can I tell that I'm special to you by how you look at me?
