003 - What's in your atmosphere? (The Life-Giving Home Environment)

For most of us, the word home carries more than just casual memories of a time and place where we spent our childhood; it was the first society from which we learned about life itself. The home is where love is first defined by the care and attention we receive, and becomes the place where security is gained, lost, or possibly never obtained. The word home is so laden with significance that one cannot begin a conversation about the nurturing of children without first speaking to the persuasive influence that the home environment creates. Parents have the opportunity to create a life-giving home environment where their children are the benefactors of multiple layers of love and security. Join us as we discuss what a life-giving home environment can look like and some practical examples to infuse life into your home.Rich & Julie Young, hostsGary & Anne Marie Ezzo, foundersCheck out Episode 2 // Spotify // Apple // YouTubeResources mentioned in this episode:→ Family Conversation Cards // https://onefamilyhwl.org/product/family-conversation-cards/→ Parenting from the Tree of Life Series // https://growingfamilies.life/parenting-from-the-tree-of-life→ Virtue/Vice Contrast List // https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ab23f82c3c16a2c72ac497f/t/5ca1dca09140b743d36924ef/1554111653460/GF+Virtue+Values+Contrast+-+US+letter.pdfWant to dive deeper into this episode’s topic?
