From cultural pressures and political discussions to questions about identity and struggles with doubt, children encounter the realities of our world from an early age. Talking to Kids About Hard Things helps Christian parents approach these conversations with courage, honesty, empathy, curiosity, and the steady love of Jesus. Rebekah Hannah and Michael Keller offer a path for parents to engage their children in meaningful, formative dialogue rather than avoiding difficult topics.
The authors encourage parents to move away from fear, avoidance, and excessive control and instead practice faithful presence, truth-telling, humility, and hope rooted in Christ. Parents will learn how to create homes where questions are welcomed, grace is abundant, and faith is lived out authentically, helping children develop a deep and enduring relationship with God.
Offering a gospel-centered approach that prioritizes grace, truth, and humility over performance and perfection, the book provides practical tools for engaging children in conversations 6 such as asking thoughtful questions, listening well, using stories, and making the most of everyday moments. It also emphasizes that parenting is not only about shaping children but about God 2s ongoing work in transforming parents themselves. Includes a foreword by Kathy Keller.
