We all want our kids to thrive, but what does that really mean?
Often in our culture, thriving is associated with excelling at sports, maintaining a high GPA, or maintaining friendships. But here’s the kicker: thriving is so much more than just those quantifiable achievements. In fact, I believe thriving is more of a direction than a destination.
Many of our adopted kids come from challenging backgrounds. Maybe no one in their birth family graduated high school, or their birthparents struggle with issues like addiction or incarceration and these same issues keep showing up in our kiddo’s journeys. All of these challenges can cast a long shadow over what we perceive as thriving.
I this episode we cover what thriving really is and how this can change your relationship with your child.
