The Unexpected Pitfalls of Teasing in Your Family

April 29, 2024

A lot of families enjoy teasing each other. But parents need to be aware of the risks because children can easily confuse teasing with criticism. Or teasing behavior may actually mask underlying motives of wanting attention, selfishness, or a power-play to make someone feel less valuable. Playful teasing may be okay as long as it’s balanced with genuine love, humility, and lots of encouragement.

Dr. Justin and Lindsey Holcomb help you answer that question in a kid-friendly way.

What You Can Do to Help Kids in Foster Care

May 17, 2024

Julie Bagamary never set out to be a foster parent, but she felt God’s call to help needy children. She and her husband, Randy, provided a safe and loving home for lots of children in the foster care system. But many more Christian families are needed – to become foster parents, or to encourage and support other foster families. https://donate.focusonthefamily.com/don-daily-broadcast-product-2024-05-17?refcd=2062303   https://www.focusonthefamily.com/episodes/broadcast/what-you-can-do-to-help-kids-in-foster-care/#featured-resource-cta   https://podcasts.focusonthefamily.com/show/focus-on-the-family-broadcast/
