OVERVIEW:

Special BONUS: My guest on episodes #36 and #37 of the Graceologie with Gwen Smith podcast is my very own daughter, Kennedy Smith! We have a “No-Consequence Conversation” that’s honest, entertaining, practical, helpful and hopeful on all-the-mom-things! 

HIGHLIGHTS:

NO CONSEQUENCE CONVERSATIONS… Preface your talk by assuring your child they can be completely honest - even if they think the answers might hurt your feelings or get someone else in trouble. Pray with them. Determine to provide a safe environment for them to share and LISTEN to what they have to say.

NO CONSEQUENCE QUESTIONS (Adjust and select according to the age of your child)
