Operation Christmas Child – Shoebox Collection Week is Here!

New On-Demand Episode: 'Cuties,' COVID, and Tween Faith

Originally published Wednesday, 14 October 2020.

What are the signs of tween depression, and what strategies help fight it?

How can parents best support their children as school is impacted by COVID-19?

What messages does your daughter need to hear from you concerning body image and social media?

For my latest "Chaos to Calm" episode, I was honored to connect with Proverbs 31 Ministries' Lynn Cowell, who is a speaker and author, and Michelle Nietert, who runs a counseling center out of Dallas, Texas. Both women are co-authors of a new devotional for tween girls (entitled Loved and Cherished) and are passionate about tween issues and faith. They answer the questions above along with many others, including: How is parenting like packing a suitcase? (Thanks, Lynn!)
