Start with the Heart: Dr. Kathy Koch

What if all the grades, trophies, and accolades your kids chase aren’t enough to make them feel secure? On the final day of the heart-centered parenting series, Start with the Heart author Dr. Kathy Koch shows parents how to root identity in God, affirm kids’ unique gifts, and nurture purpose-driven competence. Through practical examples—dice games, car rides, and coffee-making five-year-olds—you’ll discover how to connect deeply, raise kids who thrive, and feel like you finally “get” what parenting really demands.
