  • #20: SPECIAL EPISODE: How Much Should We Shelter Our Children When It Comes To Literature? Interview with Rachel Richart
    May 31 2024

    “Sheltering is different than guiding and protecting. Pretending things don't exist or aren’t real isn’t necessarily helpful to them, but guiding and protecting as they learn about it is the goal.”

    Kristen interviews Christian mom and teacher Rachel Richart to unpack this controversial question. As Christian parents, teachers, and school librarians, where should we draw the line on inappropriate content in our children's books? And why? How can we remain approachable to our kids if they read something they question?

    This episode is intended to be a helpful resource for Christian parents and teachers as they consider books for their own children and seek to foster a love of learning built on the foundation of their faith.
