What Are Children Worth? Why the Cost of Raising Kids Cannot Measure Their Value

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids Podcast, Dr. Kathy Koch and Wayne Stender examine what happens when children are viewed primarily in terms of economics and productivity. They discuss the pressure to raise high performing kids and the importance of recognizing each child as uniquely created by God. Parents are encouraged to see children not merely as expenses, but as gifts who bring belonging and joy to family life.
