In our increasingly digital age, it is more important than ever to make sure we are using our words to affirm and guide our children. In a world that tries to tell them who they are and what is important, it is our job as parents to encourage them toward virtue and faith. I am so pleased to bring you this conversation with Sally Clarkson. Through book writing, podcasting, and speaking, Sally uses her words to mentor a generation of young moms who want to give their children a life full of beauty, creativity, faith, and family. May you come away from this conversation with a renewed vigor for creating a verbal home that breathes life into the hearts of your children.
In this episode, we cover:
- What it means to have a verbal home and why it matters in this day and age
- How you can appoint times throughout your day, week, year to intentionally affirm your children
- Going beyond what we say and examining what is in our hearts
- Strategies for being truly present with your children and not getting sucked into distraction
- Protecting your family’s time in order to maximize opportunities for lifegiving conversation
- How prioritizing words can knit your family’s hearts together
- Considering boundaries around creating solely for your family’s benefit vs. creating to share with the world
- The importance of keeping work in its rightful place
- Getting on the same page as your spouse about the direction of your family
