One of David and Sissy's favorite episodes to do quarterly is based on "What Kids Need Right Now". They talk so much about about how they are sitting with kids and families every day and hearing their hearts and hearing their struggles. And so it's important to get to talk about what they are seeing specifically. Join in on this conversation and hear the three things they are seeing the most right now with kids and learn about the practical ways we as caregivers can help them grow in these areas.
