Episode 182 – Forming Resilient Children With Holly Catterton Allen

Episode sponsored by DiverseChurchJobs.com

Parenting and raising children can be tough work. Parenting and Raising RESILIENT children is an entirely different conversation. Yet, it’s a NECESSARY conversation.

In the middle of a pandemic, with all of the challenges that we’re facing as a world, we cannot forget to lean into the issues that our children are facing and navigating. Our Host, Christopher J Harris, welcomes Dr Holly Catterton Allen, author of the book Forming Resilient Children and she herself a Mother and Grandmother, for an incredibly hopeful, engaging, and inspiring discussion around raising and rearing children in a way that empowers them to thrive. More importantly, this discussion raises the conversation to deal with healthy childhood development through spiritual formation. David Csinos, founder of Faith Forward and Associate Professor at Atlantic School of Theology said, “Forming Resilient Children is a much-needed addition to the field of children’s spirituality. Especially now, as we continue to face the ongoing effects of a once-a-century pandemic, children need adults who can help them recover from trauma, process grief, and nurture hope. Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, pastor, teacher, or children’s ministry volunteer, Holly Allen’s superb research will help you understand connections between spirituality and resilience. What is more, she offers strategies and resources that you can use to foster resilience among the children that God has placed in your life.”
