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 in Nashville, Tennessee.

Our goal is to help you care for the kids in your life with a little more understanding, a little more practical help, and a whole lot of hope.

So pull up a chair and join us on this journey from our little yellow house to yours.

David, did you know that I had my first pumpkin party with both boys last week?

What did you do?

The question is, what did we not do? We did so much and by the time we got baths and it was time for bed, I wasn't sure I could stay awake long enough to read books.

And then I remembered that the abide app has stories for kids and they could handle story time for me.

I love that the folks at abide can give weary parents some help at bedtime by handling story time.

Yes, we were listening to Jonah, you can run, but you can't hide.

And when the reader said, you may fall asleep before I'm done, I thought there was a great chance that might be true for me.

I remember reading to my kids at bedtime and them having to nudge me because I'd fallen asleep mid-sentence.

Thank goodness the folks at abide can keep going if the grown-ups accidentally nod off.

Yes, just one of the many great things the abide app offers, sleep better and find peace.
