Ep. 1 : Our family is struggling with online learning
We’re embarking on this podcast at a very particular time in history, when families are dealing with so many hard things. So we want to begin by sharing some writing by a friend of ours, Marcy McClelland Klug. Marcy’s writing captures what many parents are experiencing right now, and also includes an important question about how to help different kids with different needs during this time.

Questions to ask your kids and discuss with your family:
- How are things going for you right now? How do you feel like things are going for our family?
- Is there anything that feels very hard?
- What do you think is going well?
- If you could make the rules, what’s one thing you would change about your life?
- Will you pray for this family with me? And for other families who are having a hard time?

October 15, 2020About Growing Connected
On each Growing Connected podcast, husband and wife team Dr. Jeffrey Olrick and Amy Olrick discuss a listener-submitted question, exploring what the intersection of child development science and faith teach us about issues families are facing. Each episode ends with a God Moment — a story about a time a parent or a child felt God's love in their life in a specific and sometimes inexplicable way.
