About this episode

This episode features a conversation with Elisabeth about supporting MKs through their emotional experiences.

Thank you for clicking on this episode of the Pondering Purple podcast, a source of information, insight, and inspiration for those who love MKs and those who are MKs. ··· In this conversation, you'll meet Elisabeth, mom of MKs, creator of MK resources, and deep well of wisdom. We discuss topics related to Chapter Five of Pieces of Purple, which explores the "flipsides" of the TCK experience—how the great and the hard live side by side in our lives—and how parents of young MKs (from toddlers to middle school) can help them to walk through the big emotions involved. We address questions like: • How can we create a safe environment for MKs to express their feelings? • How do parents respond helpfully to grief-fueled meltdowns? • What is the impact of "time in" vs. "time out"? And so much more... If you'd like to contact Elisabeth to learn more about her resources, this is her email - ejochum@tckteam.com.
