Helping Your Kids Find Belonging in a Culture of Comparison w/ Dr. Heather Holleman


Summit Ministries

Every child wants to belong, but navigating friendships, rejection, and the pressure to fit in can be challenging. How can Christian parents help their kids overcome comparison and find lasting confidence in Christ?

In this episode of *Upside-Down Parenting*, Matt Jones and Janel Greig welcome Dr. Heather Holleman, author of the Elita Brown series, to explore how parents can help their children build meaningful friendships, process difficult emotions, and develop a strong sense of identity and belonging. Drawing from her newest book, This Seat’s Yours, Heather shares practical ways to foster healthy relationships, cultivate gratitude, and remind kids that their worth isn’t determined by the approval of others but by who they are in Jesus.
