What kids are hungry for….

Kids are hungry and not just for food.

I recently met with a group of young people, ages 10 to 17.

Here is their list of things some of them are starving for:

• more support and less criticisms for creative expressions
• adults who know how to listen and help them feel safe
• less conflict, drama, and stress from the adults in their lives
• spiritual nourishment
• better examples from their adult leaders for being honest and trustworthy
• HOPE for their future
• greater focus for better solutions instead of emphasis on all their problems
• parents and teachers with more maturity than their kids and students
• to feel heard
• to feel successful
