How to Help Kids When They Feel Sad | Family Conversation

There are times when you feel really happy. And there are sometimes when you feel sad. It's part of being a human!  And as much as parents want to shield their children from feeling any sort of sadness (me included!), it's important for us to teach our children how to cope with sadness and give them some tools to use for the times when they do experience sadness.  On this episode of Along For The Ride, we’re having a casual chat about sadness. We're talking about 4 ideas of things that kids can do when they feel sad that will help them feel happier. We're also talking about how kids can be there for a friend when that friend feels sad.  This is a really equipping episode for families to listen to together. There is time in the episode for discussion, but you should definitely plan to keep the conversation going once the episode is over!  My friend and fellow podcaster, Jeannette Tapley, joins me for this episode! She’s a mom with 3 teenagers, so she knows a thing or two about helping kids get through happy and sad times.  Even though we're talking about sadness, this is still a really uplifting episode! I know your whole family is going to benefit from this conversation whether it's today or down the road.  Links: Christian Parenting Digital Event - April 14, 2023.
