As many children across the country are experiencing a disruption in their usual routine, it's important that we, as parents, slow down and assist them in processing what is happening in the world. As people of faith, this is a beautiful opportunity to invite our children into a deeper relationship with, surrender to and reliance on the Lord. We hope this guide will help you continue the conversation in your home!
