Myth #3 (Part 2) - You'll Confuse the Kids!!!

Interfaithing: Why families can embrace two faiths under one roof

Ari and Anna continue their conversation regarding one of the most popular myths of interfaith family life, that teaching children both religions will confuse them and won't give them a strong faith foundation.

Spoiler alert: The kids will be alright. 

Topics addressed include:

  1. Can you effectively raise interfaith kids with only one faith background?
  2. The importance of the sights and smells of family holiday celebrations;
  3. The signficant role of grandparents of interfaith families 
  4. The parenting quandary of "Dad, you can't control me!"
  5. How the biblical story of Samson reminded Anna of a powerful story related to her faith journey as a daughter of a pastor growing up in Arkansas.

and MUCH MORE!!
