In this episode we celebrate the return of the light by searching out what gives us hope during this dark and strange time.
What are you hopeful for? What does hope mean to you?
Usually we explore a word together, discussing what it means and how we interact with that word in our parenting and family lives.
This time we turn the microphones to you, our community, and ask what are you hopeful for?
Listen to local voices, young and young at heart, say what hope means to them and what they are hopeful for in the new year.
Here at Kootenay Kids we are grateful for the families we interact with, the community we work in and the donations, grants and funding that keep us going. We are hopeful for a safe and cozy winter with a return to normal programming soon. In the meantime, grab some tea, settle in and listen to this glimmer of HOPE.

What does it mean to be Brave? Are we only brave when we are little kids facing something scary? Or are we brave, as adults, everyday?

This podcast is a family affair! Big thanks to Ty Ronald for doing our voice over and to Dave Ronald for his sound engineering skills and cheerful intro music.

Nicole and Jen had to get creative in order to have a microphone stand for the first 'in person' recording session. They chose to try recording in the playroom at Kootenay Kids. Can you spot the mic?
