Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Screen-Free Vocabulary Building Games Kids Enjoy w/ Teresa Argenbright
Q: How can parents use everyday moments to introduce new words to kids without it feeling like homework?
By modeling language in everyday life—reading their own books, newspapers, and puzzles in front of kids; discussing interesting words from real sources; and turning moments like reading labels and signs into quick vocabulary drills that feel natural rather than homework.
Tips for Raising Strong Boys with Family Ministry Leader and Award-Winning Author, Christie Thomas
Q: What are practical ways to incorporate movement into spiritual practices with young children?
Include actions like acting out Bible stories, letting them use building blocks like Lego to recreate scenes, or drawing and painting, combined with shared meals or snacks during Bible time to make it enjoyable and memorable.
Tips for Raising Strong Boys with Family Ministry Leader and Award-Winning Author, Christie Thomas
Q: How can parents navigate the energy and physicality of boys in a faith-building context?
By adjusting expectations, redirecting energy into constructive tasks, and providing opportunities for movement; for younger boys, integrating movement into Bible study and using hands-on activities keeps them engaged.
Tips for Raising Strong Boys with Family Ministry Leader and Award-Winning Author, Christie Thomas
Q: What quick tips do you have for connecting with sons?
The guest emphasizes discovering what each son enjoys and showing genuine interest in those activities, even if they are different from what the parent prefers, as a foundation for connection.
The Power of a Good Story to Improve Literacy w/Author JOYCE MCCULLOUGH
Q: What strategies can help reluctant readers fall in love with books?
Find books that align with the child's interests (e.g., sports books for sports fans), keep readings short and engaging, and use series with short chapters or story hooks to prompt continued reading.
