Purpose Starts Early: Why Kids Need More Than School Readiness
In this episode of the Celebrate Kids Podcast, Dr. Kathy Koch and Wayne Stender explore why more young people are disengaging from education and work and why the answer may begin much earlier than adolescence. They discuss the importance of security, identity, belonging, purpose, and competence, as well as the role that parents, schools, churches, and communities can play in helping kids discover that they are capable and created to contribute. Parents and leaders will be encouraged to look beyond early warning signs and instead help children recognize the gifts and purposes God has already placed within them.

you. So Dr. Kathy today on the Celebrate Kids podcast and the daily segment facing the dark, something is super interesting came to my attention as I was doing some research for the show.
The United Kingdom has more than one million young people. I want to say that again, one million young people between the ages of 16 and 24 who are not in employment, education, or in training. For the first time in more than a decade, that number has crossed seven figures.
