We Are Wussifying Our Kids
Original Air Date: August 10, 2008 AudioLink_2008_0810
Show Category: Family
Show Description: I came across a New York Times article talking about how hard it has become on those who run kids camps due to the helicoptering parents. Parents that just won't let their kids go...even for just a week. Join the discussion as we look at how protecting our children too much has prevented them from growing into well rounded adults.

Quotes to Live By
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will ? to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves."
-Ephesians 1:3-6

Prayer Request from a Listener
I am 27 years old smoker with high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I cant seem to find the strength to quit smoking, eat better and start exercising. I have 2 children and want to be around as long as I can for them. Please help me pray for the motivation and strength to make these changes in my life. Thank you.
