We're thrilled to welcome Deb to the podcast to address some of the following questions: How do we come alongside children with encouragement so that they are built up to be courageous and strong? How is encouragement different from praise? What are some key words and phrases we can use when helping children know they are seen and deeply loved? How do we help children engage in the practice of encouragement?
Deb is a good friend of KidZ at Heart and International Network of Children's Ministry (INCM). Please visit https://www.incm.org/ to learn more about INCM and the annual CPC conference. Deb will be there, and so will KidZ at Heart!
