41. Sibling Relationships, Family Values, & Lots of Laughs: Val's Four Daughters share the mic!

Behind the Scenes w/ Four Sisters and their Practically Speaking MOM, Episode 41.

Join us today for lots of laughs and lots of honesty!

This episode is a special treat to me -  visiting with all four of my daughters together in the studio.  We all gathered around the microphone to laugh and to tell the truth about sibling life, family values, fighting fair, and more. 

The Practically Speaking MOM podcast is unique in that it's a family podcast - you've met all seven of our children in different episodes (except Nathan, who produces the music and we have an episode lined up for you to meet him later this summer).  My husband, Rich, and I give several hours a week to the podcast and then all the rest of the family chips in with their abilities or experiences.  
 

Here's what we talk about on this special sisters edition of the podcast (I ask questions and they answer them):

💞 What were our CORE FAMILY VALUES and how did we implement them in our home?

💕 What SIBLING RELATIONSHIP BELIEFS did we establish and how?

💞Because children aren't born knowing how to interact in conflict in a healthy way, we have to teach them how.  In the podcast we talk about SIBLING SQUABBLES & I share a simple method for teaching kids how to REPAIR RELATIONSHIP...

💕To share bedrooms or not to share sibling bedrooms...

💞Sibling Arguments - Should we let our kids "work it out for themselves" or should we step in to help them resolve conflict?

💕What was effective in helping to grow such strong sibling bonds between you seven kids?  What fostered life-long friendships between you?

 💞How did it affect the relationship to work hard together?
And what was some of the hard work you did?

💕When parents fall short, as I did and do many times, how does this affect you guys?  What about the gaps in our parenting? How did that impact you kids? 

💞Was limiting technology an important part of building strong sibling bonds?  

💕Volunteering taught you...
