87. Visionary Parenting

Your Child's Heart is Asking, "Mom, Do You Believe in Me?" "What makes me significant in this world?" "Am I blessing or a burden?"  "What else do you believe about me?" You're answering their heart through the words you say, the tone of your voice, the look in your eye.  You may be sending messages you didn't even know you were sending!  I was.   Thankfully, I made some changes, made a course shift in how I was parenting and it improved my  relationships with my kids as well as improving their perception of themselves.  And, as I've told you many times, "Who you believe you are has everything to do with who you become." Your child's belief about themselves affects their decisions about their life which shapes who they become.  So, mamas, in this episode I'm going to give you some practical steps for sending the right messages! Being a Visionary Parent is one of the four key hats you are wearing as a mom, and I share about all four of them in my book, Wearing All Your Hats without Wearing Out: Finding Finding Focus for Your Family to be the Masterpiece God IntendedAlso mentioned in this episode, 87, "Visionary Parenting," is my bookClash In Your Home: Getting a Game Plan for Cleaning Up the ConflictSome of God's Visionary Statements about us...Jeremiah 1:5Jeremiah 31:3Psalm 17:8Romans 6:2Next week, in Episode 88, Val is taking your questions!!  It's "Listener Q&A Hosted by Abby!"CONNECT with VAL:Website www.PracticallySpeakingMOM.comFacebook Public Page where Val shares resources & announcements:Practically Speaking MOM Instagram: @PracticallySpeakingMOMFacebook private group: Intentional Mom, Strong FamilyEmail: [email protected] the showVisit Val's website: PracticallySpeakingMOM.comJoin Val's Facebook Group Intentional Mom, Strong FamilyFollow Val on Instagram and her Facebook Public Page Practically Speaking MOM To give a set amount each month click here.

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, and grandma of two, 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, married 28 years, have three married children, two more in college, and two in her homeschool. 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." Galations 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, every Monday on the Practically Speaking MOM podcast, the place for an intentional mom to build a strong family.
