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
