Welcome to the Raising Boys and Girls Podcast. I'm Sissy Gough.

I'm David Thomas. And I'm Melissa Trevathan.

And we are so glad you've set us out a few minutes to spend with us today.

In each episode of this podcast, we'll share some of what we're learning in the work we do with

kids and families on a daily basis at Days Are Counseling and National Tennessee. Our goal is to

help you care for the kids in your life with a little more understanding, a little more practical

Menno. Menno provides meaningful screen time and shared experiences for families to help you grow

in your faith together. Check them out at podcast.govmento.com. That's podcast.govmionno.com.
