From those nearly three decades of raising seven children, I would rank what we’re talking about today in my top ten habits that shaped my children’s character, shaped their worldview, their wisdom – the application of knowledge, and  shaped their life pursuits – their perspective on venturing into the unknown, setting goals, being obstacle over-comers. Today, we’re talking about making quality, wholesome, character-building AUDIO ADVENTURES a routine part of your child’s life.  Our family has had many family adventures thanks to our podcast guest this week!  He is a professional voice performer and one of my family's favorite story tellers, Jim Hodges of Jim Hodges Audio Books.  Jim & I have a lively discussion about lots of things, including how weaknesses in our kids can lead to great adventures, a game-changing tip for slow readers, and the impact of quality content on the shaping of our child's character!About  this week's guest, Jim Hodges:https://jimhodgesaudiobooks.com/  Jim Hodges is a committed Christian, husband to Monica for 40 years, father of 3 grown home-schooled children, and Navy retiree.
