Ep. 3.31 : The six needs of every child with Amy and Jeffrey Olrick

I think we can agree that one of the hardest parts of our COVID-19 existence is the lack of connection with friends and family. In our present circumstances, it has become very evident just how much we need connection, and it starts at the earliest of ages with our kids.

 

I’m thrilled to have Amy and Jeffrey Olrick on our podcast today, discussing this very topic. They speak to the six needs every child possesses in relation to connection. Amy and Jeffrey’s integration of neuroscience and practical parenting is a great reminder that God created us to be relational, and our kids need us to be present, not perfect.

 

We chat about topics such as:

 

• Delighting in our kids because of who they are and not because of what they’ve done.
• The importance of setting boundaries and considering our motives behind them.
• Giving ourselves grace on the bad days and knowing that parenting is a life-long pursuit.

 

You’re going to love how Amy and Jeffrey practically break our kids’ needs down into six essential areas. Join us and be encouraged.
