Teaching Kids to Remember: The Secret to Identity, Growth, and Faith

In a world that constantly pushes kids toward the next thing—next assignment, next achievement, next version of themselves—what if the most important habit we could teach them is to pause and look back? In this episode of Facing the Dark, Wayne and Dr. Kathy explore the power of remembrance. Drawing from research, real-life parenting moments, and biblical truth, they unpack why reflection is one of the most overlooked tools for building identity, resilience, and faith in kids today. You'll discover why today's kids rarely evaluate their own growth, how simple rhythms like "highlights and lowlights" can transform your family conversations, and how remembering what God has done prepares your child for the hard moments ahead. If you've ever wondered how to help your kids grow deeper, not just faster, this episode will give you practical and meaningful ways to start.
