Your Best Weapon or the Greatest Danger: Raising Amazing Chapter 6
I am so happy to be back with another monthly podcast covering highlights from my book, Raising Amazing: Bringing up Kids Who Love God, Like Their Family, and Do the Dishes Without Being Asked! Today we get to cover Chapter Six: All about the importance of surrounding your kids with helpful influences…and protecting them from bad ones!
There is no denying: We all become like the company we keep. Your child will grow up to be much like the people and other influences that surround them each day. In today’s episode we talk about the important influence of family members (with some unfortunately necessary warnings in there), as well as peer influences, online influences and more. We also talk about the importance of role models (and how to find good ones.) I hope this episode encourages you to tap into the power of influences in your kids’ lives!
Find a free download: A printable Scripture-based prayer for your child to be surrounded by good and godly influences.
