Adventuring With Your Kids w/ Greta Eskridge

Author: Brett and Erin Kunkle May 18, 2023 Duration: 35:21

Parents today complain of fragmented relationships with their kids. What parents yearn for--and their kids, too--is deep, heart-to-heart connections. But how can parents compete with all the other noise fighting for their kids' attention? In this episode, Brett and Erin interview Greta Eskridge about her new book, Adventuring Together. She discusses how to break free from regular routines and familiar comforts of home to experience new places and adventures--even if those adventures go awry. From simply reading a book together to going on an overnight backpacking trip, Greta suggests activities that provide unique and crucial bonding opportunities.
