Summary

Sissy and David unpack five things kids need culturally right now: conversation (parents as the calm, safe first source), protection in the real world (body-safety skills and wise supervision), online protection (tools + ongoing check-ins), critical thinking (helping kids evaluate what they see and hear), and a spiritual foundation (identity, hope, and guidance). Their main point: culture will shape kids—but intentional parents can shape them more. Resources mentioned: Tell Me More by Kelly Corrigan God Made All of Me by Justin and Lindsey Holcomb Habits of the Household by Justin Whitmel Earley The Jesus Storybook Bible by Sally Lloyd-Jones My First Message by Eugene Peterson The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt . . . . . .
