Gaming as connection, not isolation

In today’s episode we speak to some more of the Parenting for Faith team about their favourite chapters from An A - Z of Parenting for Faith, which is out this Friday, 24 October. Lucy Rycroft is the editor of An A - Z of Parenting for Faith and on the speaker team, she also runs a ministry called The Hope-Filled Family. Jess Rodewald is the Development and Relationship Lead, she chats to Anna about disappointment and how we can support our children and young people to recognise and express it. Laura Trigg is the Administrator and she shares what stood out to her in the emotions chapter of the book. David Burn is the Marketing and Engagement Lead and he offers some thoughts on gaming and how it can be a powerful tool for connection.
