154. Nurturing Our Children’s Hearts Through Lifegiving Words | Sally Clarkson


Listen Later

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
