Kids today are facing more challenges than ever, and it is up to us as parents to make godly decisions that will help mold our children into wise and contributing members of society. Steve Hines discusses when and how to kick-start meaningful communication patterns with young children. Steve is the author of Salt, Light, & Kids: Parenting Well in Today’s Culture.
