Prepared or Paranoid? Raising Kids for the Real World

How does a parent raise kids prepared for the real world without creating paranoia? It's difficult -- especially when this includes teaching kids to recognize that even people they know might be manipulative, abusive, or exploitative. It's not always strangers or people "out there."

I unpack this tough topic today, using Nehemiah 5 as the perfect backdrop and model. Learn the principle tying levels of independence to levels of awareness. Learn questions you can ask and teach your children to ask themselves.

One of the best ways to keep kids safe is by making them strong and savvy. Be encouraged and equipped to do just that.
