107. Equipped to SOAR - Series Kick-off

I want my children to be well-prepared for life –  a holistic view of life – prepared emotionally and socially, prepared academically and with wisdom, prepared spiritually and with discernment for their life purposes, prepared physically with healthy habits.  I want my kids to be prepared. Do you agree? That preparation doesn’t begin when they’re 16, it begins from a very early age.  We’re going to talk about all of this in our new series Preparing My Child to SOAR beyond the nest.   The conversation begins this week in episode 107."Holistic" from the Greek root "Holo" meaning "Whole."   Let's equip our kids through a WHOLE PERSON LIFESTYLE.Four Steps for Moms to Equip Your Kids with a Whole Person Lifestyle 1.
