Our affectionally labeled “resident child therapists,” David Thomas and Sissy Goff are back on the podcast! In season 1, David and Sissy joined us to talk about the emotional milestones of boys and girls. Now that school is in full session, we talk with them about social milestones. Respectively, Sissy eloquently describes how girls can develop socially, and David describes what it takes to help boys do the same.

The four core social milestones include: awareness, reciprocity, ownership, and boundaries. In this episode, David and Sissy talk about the milestones, and also give us very practical ways we can help our boys and girls, respectively, reach these milestones. Fortunately, they also counsel us a bit with our kids. Christi took copious notes.

David and Sissy are licensed counselors and serve at Daystar Counseling in Nashville. Along with Daystar’s founder, Melissa Trevethan, they host a website of helpful resources for parents called Raising Boys and Girls.

Instagram post 2195592084505725459_16377459 This is a magnet castle I built tonight with Kennedy. It’s not the prettiest one we’ve ever built, at least in my eyes, but in her eyes—because she got to do it with daddy—oh man, this was the best castle ever!

We ran a lot this weekend. Dinner with friends one night, filming videos and working on Saturday, and two church services yesterday. Last night, I could tell they were simply longing for connection. And kids spell connection P.L.A.Y.

So today, I promised one we’d finish the LEGO train and the other a magnet castle. And it was pretty much the most epic part of my day.

The easiest parenting wins come with that 20 minutes of command-free time with our kids. Researcher Stanley Greenspan found 20 minutes to be gold for a child’s brain development. Command-free time is when we enter our kid’s world and do what they want to do.

Don’t let the busyness of the holidays rob you of the greatest gift you can give your kids—one-on-one playtime. Just 20 minutes is gold.

May we all progress through the Christmas season with the childlike joy and love of this little guy. This picture progression describes this boy to a T.

And yes, as you can tell by my moves, I have a lot to learn 😂
