Let’s Talk About Growing Character! (Podcast 286)

A few episodes ago I started the conversation about growing character in our kids. I shared how we as moms have a responsibility to encourage our kids to grow in character by creating an environment that will foster that. (Here it is if you missed it: https://www.durendawilson.com/podcast/episode/bb0fac96/creating-a-healthy-environment-for-character-growth-podcast-282) Today I’m getting into the nitty-gritty of character growth: What it is, why it’s important, how we do it and when we do it.  Then I will conclude this episode by answering a question I got from a mom about the issue of sharing.  This episode ran longer than I expected, but I think you'll find some helpful tips and grow in your understanding of how to walk this out! It's a worthwhile investment for sure!
