During this episode, Lee Ann and I delve into the aspects of parenting prodigal children. We offer guidance to parents navigating these challenges with faith and grace. We discuss different types of prodigals, drawing parallels from biblical examples to provide a multi-dimensional understanding of wayward children and give hope to parents grappling with despair and hopelessness while raising prodigal children. https://lnkd.in/g7ut4STk #parenting #prodigals

Around the world, hundreds of thousands of children are not able to live with their birth parents, for many reasons. Many of these children who cannot often live with relatives or friends of the family. This care is known as kinship care. Kinship care is globally acknowledged as the first form of care that should be sought for children outside of parental care. It is widely used across the world. However, it is poorly supported in many countries. That's why we've published a global guidance – to lead the change! Our Kinship Care guidance explains why supporting kinship care is so incredibly important. This is the first ever global kinship care guidance paper and we're proud of the impact that this will have on thousands of children who cannot access the support they need.

One reason I do what I do... Our society is normalizing pedophilia and empowering pedophiles and it must stop. The decisions of a few (to NOT use the tools they have at their disposal to stop sexual comments and messages aimed at children and to prioritize sexualized content in feeds, even if it's from a child) has suddenly made this kind of behavior implicitly okay. Children themselves think it's okay - why wouldn't they if it's so openly allowed? Most people are disgusted of course, but just saying that isn't enough. We must take action, aggressively and automatically block predators from children online name, shame, and leave platforms that don't keep pedophiles out intensely inform children of what a pedophile is online and why it's important to avoid them at all costs We must believe that is possible to stop this trend. I want the world to know AI can be used as a powerful tool to weed pedophiles out and ban them from social media. The more people know this, the more will point to social media companies and ask "Why aren't you already doing this?! What does that say about whose side you are really on?" #socialmedia #enoughisenough #stopharm
