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.

A lot of times, the unhappy child just needs to be shown how to handle life - how to handle circumstances around them, how to handle feelings, how to handle others around them, etc. As parents, we are not just making sure they are fed, clothed, and sheltered. Parents need to EQUIP our kids for the complex parts of life. We want to help them BLOOM in the aspects of their life. This episode will give you tools to help your children to deal with their bad attitude at various ages.
One person's attitude affects:
*those around them
*the atmosphere of our home
*my attitude about other things
*my attitude affects me physically
*my attitude prevents me from praising the Lord and glorifying Him
The habit of choosing joy, is better for me, for those around, and for God's Kingdom
Side note: Boredom, lack of direction, lack of accomplishment can be one contributing factor in a bad attitude. We really are designed to accomplish, overcome, discover, explore, investigate, and create. Kids need to be LIVING, not just existing. Are your kids spending too much time just being entertained? Let's get them moving and get their minds thinking.
