We're opening up about our own experiences and shedding light on what bullying really looks like. Together, we're highlighting the importance of teaching our kids to stand up for themselves and others. Plus, we're exploring the nuances of strength, protection, and how Jesus' example plays into it all. We also tackle the tough issue of what to do if your child is the one doing the bullying. Stick around until the end for a little dose of fun with a cool fact and of course, one of my classic dad jokes. Thanks for joining us on this journey through parenthood!
