How our Kind Words Can Transform our Kids’ Lives with Amy Hughes

Episode 90 Amy Hughes is a mom to nine, yes nine! She is also a home schoolteacher and an author. In today’s episode we are talking about her brand-new book, Words Like Honey. This book, and our conversation, is all about the power of our words as parents. Not that our words have some kind of magical powers or that we can manifest something happening. But that God is the one that gives our words power to bless our children, to nurture them, comfort and exhort them. It’s so important for us to remember this as parents.  Amy and I have a lot to say on this topic because as lovers of words and as authors and communicators, we know very well the power words have. We share stories from our parenting and the way we’ve learned to speak gently and in life giving ways. Amy shares 4 really practical tips from her book about how to speak life into your children. You won’t find this episode overwhelming, but rather encouraging and helpful. I just know you’ll appreciate it very much.  Resources mentioned in this episode: Provers 18;21 “Death and life are in the power of the tongue and those who love will eat its fruit.” Proverbs 15:1 “A gentle answer turns away wrath but a harsh word stirs up anger.” *Be sure you are following Greta on Instagram here to get first notification for her upcoming online seminar! *Or you can sign up for my newsletter here to get notification of all the things!  Where to find Amy: Find Amy’s book here Find Amy on Instagram here  Find Amy’s website here The Greta Eskridge Podcast is a part of the Christian Parenting Podcast Network.
