72. Teach Your Kids the TRUTH about Love. What is Your Child Learning about LOVE & Relationships & Marriage?

"First, WE guard our children's hearts.  Then we teach THEM to guard their hearts.  This episode will help you learn to do both." - Val Harrison, The Practically Speaking MOM in Episode 72, What is Your Child Learning about LOVE & Relationships & Marriage? Click to Read Entire BLOG POST about this episode: The TRUTH, for Kids, about Romantic Love.If you’re anything like me, you have a whole list of things you know are very important to teach your children – essential truths that you long for their hearts to know before they grow up and begin life on their own. I wish I had MORE time in my days to huddle up with my kiddos to transfer as many of those essential truths as they need before they go. There’s never enough time to download all of my heart to their hearts in the eighteen years I’ve got them. Side note, you’re going to miss some things. We need to aim high and squish a lot of wisdom into these years, but we aren’t going to squeeze it all in and that’s where God comes in. He’s the Great Gap-Filler – you know all those gaps of imperfection or shortcomings in your parenting, No worries, He’s got your back! He is going to teach them plenty of lessons without you. Now, with that being said, we want to do all we can to make the most of every opportunity. There’s two reasons why I think it is so critical that we spend time on this topic1.The world is pummeling our kids constantly with lots of lies about love2.  For most people, who they love and how they love will shape the moments of their lives more than almost any other aspect of their life. As parents, we must be intentional about shaping our kids' view of love and marriage. If you look all around us and if you listen to all the messages,  you will hear a constant bombardment of false messages in our society about love and about relationships and about marriage. Our kids see unhealthy relationships depicted in just about every movie out there today.Don't even get me started on Send Val your encouragement and thoughts about the show.Support 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 MOMWe're on a mission to strengthen families.Want to help cover some of the costs of the show? click here.
