In this podcast episode, we discuss the importance of creating psychological safety for missionary kids. I share my insights on fostering open communication, avoiding coddling, and not pressuring children into missions. Drawing from my personal experiences, I highlight the need for a safe space where kids can express themselves without fear of judgment. We talk about contrasting coddling with teaching independence and caution against over-functioning for children. Advocate for respecting their choices and fostering their growth, ending with an offer of coaching support for parents seeking to deepen their understanding of these concepts.
