This week hosts Mike Nawrocki and Sarah Humphrey interview author Jayne Schooler about her new book; Caring for Kids from Hard Places.Why doesn’t he act his age? Why does she behave so impulsively? Why does he have meltdowns so often?There is always meaning behind behavior in all of us. It might be a behavioral reaction from something as simple as hunger or exhaustion. Or something far more serious – a triggered reaction to a traumatic, frightening experience.Children who have experienced early childhood neglect or trauma are often greatly impacted in developmental ways. Children in foster care or who are given up for adoption often deal with these kinds of negative early experiences and it can be difficult to know how to help. People who teach–either in school or children’s ministry often see these youngsters’ behavior as confusing and don’t understand why.In Caring for Kids from Hard Places, Jayne and David Schooler discuss the reasons behind why children and teens sometimes exhibit potentially disruptive behavior. Together, they offer practical strategies on training, equipping and resourcing staff and volunteers to provide a responsive environment for children with behavioral challenges. Caring for Kids from Hard Places includes:Insights on how to understand adverse childhood experiences (ACEs)Principles for creating a trauma-informed environmentStrategies for facilitating healingTips on how to create a sensory-smart classroomDiscover how to better love children from difficult backgrounds and pave their way for a better life.---------------------------------------------------------------------------The BIble for Kids is now a 501c3 non-profit and we'd love to have you join us in our mission of reaching kids with the message of the Bible.

This week hosts Mike Nawrocki and Sarah Humphrey talk with author Dr David Erickson about his new book, The Flourishing Family: A Jesus-Centered Guide to Parenting with Peace and Purpose.When it comes to Christian parenting, we crave confidence, wisdom, and―most of all―peace.We pray for peace when our little ones are tossed about by waves of emotions, for connection and confidence when navigating stressful mornings and exhausting nights, and for wisdom in knowing how best to discipline our kids. As Christian parents, we’re desperate to “get it right,” to raise our children to be strong, courageous followers of Jesus―and yet, despite the overload of endless advice at our fingertips, we often feel completely and utterly lost.You can become the parent Christ has called you to be―and change your home and family from the inside out. In The Flourishing Family, Dr. David and Amanda Erickson offer a new parenting perspective―one that cultivates peace, gentleness, and confidence. Deeply rooted in Scripture and backed by modern neuroscience as well as insight into child development, their book will equip you torethink common assumptions about what the Bible says about parenting―and align your parenting approach with the teachings of Jesus and your identity in Him,cultivate the inner peace needed to lead and guide your family with Christ, and His grace, at the center,critically assess various gentle parenting principles through a Gospel lens so that you can respond to your child with understanding and patience, honoring the divine image and unique personality God created them to have, anduse compassionate discipline as discipleship to focus on the heart behind your child’s actions, addressing the developmental or neurological roots of their behavior rather than merely correcting or punishing their actions or choices.Your legacy is not defined by your parenting perfection but by your commitment to follow in the way of Jesus and to trust His Spirit to cultivate the seeds you’re diligently planting throughout your children’s lives. Trust that He will meet you in these pages―and that He will transform your hearts and home.---------------------------------------------------------------------------The BIble for Kids is now a 501c3 non-profit and we'd love to have you join us in our mission of reaching kids with the message of the Bible.
