Have you ever told your kids they aren’t normal? Have you ever even THOUGHT it? Today we kick around the idea of “normalness” and that there may be a better and/or more precise word to use. Take a listen!

Talk about this:

- In what areas of our parenting might we be pushing an agenda under the guise of NORMAL when it might just be OUR agenda or the POPULAR agenda?

- In what ways can we begin a conversation with our kids to better understand THEIR desires, affinities, and wants as they grow?

- In what ways do you see your kids becoming HEALTHIER versions of themselves?
