The goal in raising children is not to raise superheroes, but to raise everyday heroes. We want our children to grow up facing the world with a different kind of courage—courage to stand up against the bully, courage to speak out for the sake of others who may not have a voice, courage to refuse to do the wrong thing even though the crowd seems to be pushing them in that direction. That type of courage forces us to face our fears. It’s unrealistic to expect anyone to become completely fearless. Let’s spend this month helping our children avoid being paralyzed by fears, but learn what to do in the face of them.

Below you'll discover what we're talking about each week, and you'll also see a few downloadable resources that you can use to help continue the conversation at home with your kids. We hope you find this helpful!
