Kids can ask challenging questions. As a parent, it can sometimes be hard to find the best way to explain the answers. Even if you do have answers, it can be valuable for kids to read other perspectives as well - or to read those answers yourselves to help formulate your own answers. All of those reasons make When Kids Ask Hard Questions, Volume 2 a worthwhile book to read.
Children deserve well-thought-out answers that are rational and don't just defer the question. As a parent, I want them to hear answers from me and be able to talk to me instead of running to other sources - and I liked using this book, which I got to review, to help start conversations with my kids. Questions are answered by experts, pastors, and parents, and topics include health, injustice, identity, and more. There are theological perspectives, and while not all of them fit the same faith tradition I do, I still found it valuable to read the book with my kids, addressing where I differ but also valuing the rational, thoughtful perspective offered for each of the questions in the book.
