Practically Speaking Mom: Intentional Mom, Strong Family
Do you long to be a more intentional mom but you feel overwhelmed or weary or just don't have a clear path to the next step toward a successful family life? The Practically Speaking MOM, Val Harrison, is here to bring some order to the chaos and some focus to the confusion. You don’t have to be the perfect mom to have a strong family, you need a plan! Join author, speaker, mother of seven, mother-in-law of four, and grandma of five, as she shares wisdom and encouragement about the six areas of an intentional mom's life. You'll learn from her years of experience, successes, mistakes and redemption. Val and her husband Rich have been married 32 years and she's been homeschooling for 25 years. This podcast covers all stages of parenting, from babies to toddlers to teens and beyond. Val wants to encourage you to not become weary in your work as an intentional mom, "Even with all its unique personalities, imperfections and scars; your family is God's masterpiece. Your efforts matter in this worthy journey of motherhood." Galatians 6:9 says, "Do not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time you'll reap a harvest if you do not give up." Let's walk this marathon journey of motherhood TOGETHER, right here, on the Practically Speaking MOM podcast, the place for an intentional mom to build a strong family.

147. Raising Boys, Being a Mom Who Listens, Finding Mentors w/ Guest Amy Kusmaul
We've had multiple podcast episodes about teaching our kids to listen to us. This episode is about the importance of us as parents learning to effectively listen to our kids. It's also about the value of mentors for our teen kids and how to go about setting up a mentor, and it is about teaching them work ethic and lots more today in episode #147. Our featured guest is Amy Kusmaul, who is a mom of one daughter and four boys. Amy is our first of four guests this month who will have lots of examples about boys. That's right; we are are talking about Raising Sons for the month of June. The Father Factor will also come up quite a bit this month. No worries, if you don't have boys or if you are a single mom. All of these episodes for the month of June will be applicable to all moms even moms with girls only.
Episode 5 Getting Kids to Listen the First Time
Book - Mother and Son: The Respect Effect
For the rest of June, we've got three more guests to go with our theme of Raising Boys. Next week - in our Fathers Day episode, episode 148, - we're talking Failure is A-OK! Helping our kids to not allow failure to define us, but rather redefining failure (and we talk about so many other great things with our Fathers Day guest!)
The next week, in episode 149- our guest will inspire us with great ways to speak words of life and vision over our kids.
Then in the final Monday of June our guest will be talking about the benefits of CHALLENGES for older kids and teens.
