Don't Rush Your Reflective Child: The Hidden Gift of Slow Thinkers
About this episode
Dr. Kathy and Wayne discuss the importance of nurturing reflective children who process information slowly, distinguishing between healthy reflection and unhealthy rumination.
Some children answer questions immediately. Others need minutes, or even days, to think before they respond. In a fast paced world, those slower processors can easily be mislabeled as indecisive or anxious. In this episode of Facing the Dark , Wayne and Dr. Kathy explore new research showing that deep verbal thinkers often process life more thoroughly than others realize. Together, they discuss how parents can distinguish between unhealthy rumination and healthy reflection while learning to nurture children according to the unique ways God designed them to think.
