Summary: <br> Tragedy. In terms of media and social media, tragedy has become a staple of our daily diet. The world seems to be going crazy and the news is full of stories that are difficult for kids to process and understand. How do we talk to our children about race issues, murder, terrorism, and other tragic current events? <br> On this episode, we dive right into modern events and take on the headlines of the day. We discuss ages and appropriateness of content and conversation, how to address our children's fears, and of course how to bring the gospel into every conversation.<br> EPISODE TIMELINE<br> 1:18 Fluff - Waterslides and Cracked Ribs<br> 7:36 Talking to your kids about tragedy, Part 1<br> 25:11 - Talking to your kids about tragedy, Part 2<br> 40:00 - The show is over. iTunes Reviews.
