Raising Hopeful Kids

Do you or your children ever wonder if you can overcome the challenges in today’s culture? How do you know if your child is struggling with hope? Guest host Monica Hinderer shares how to raise hopeful kids. She unpacks the theological virtue of hope and what it looks like to have high hopes.   Listener questions and comments: Frank - I have a mental issue and I always want to try new cures but my parents will say 'why bother because your issue is incurable'. (9:07) Dan - Hope is a possibility and not a probability of an outcome. (13:45) Anne - I always told myself that I had peace in the Lord and in every medical problem. What does relaxation in the Lord do for hope? (23:30) Gerard - I just had a near death experience and I came out of it with miracles. I surrendered my whole body and mind to God. I said my goodbyes but I'm ok with God taking or leaving me. (31:20) Elena - My daughter is at college and her roommates are disrespectful. She is giving up on being nice and having hope about it. (39:43) Elizabeth - How do I help an 11-year-old who struggles with social life and hates school and people. (45:52)   Resources: Catholic Therapists https://catholictherapists.com/
