• Responsive Hearts: How Hymns and Poetry Help Kids

  Today, Anna and Cathy talk about how can we instill tender, responsive hearts in our kids and grandkids. Hymns and poetry can help. Not only that, they also help young readers learn to sequence their syllables and process deep concepts. Pretty cool stuff. We’re watching as confused leaders are turning our culture into a nation victims. Co-dependence is passed off as compassion. Helping folks stay in victim status is NOT compassion. Never has it been more important for moms and dads to teach their kids to respond with wisdom when others are hurting. Don't miss this timely and loving episode, filled with laughter and personal stories.

• Teach Kids Humility: Bug and Flower Collecting

  School just started and everyone is swamped. So it may seem really odd to release a podcast on bug collecting now. But Anna and Cathy have NOT lost their minds. They just think we can make the connection between something as simple as bug collecting and, you guessed it, humility. You may have noticed as you swat at flies, dirt daubers, and wasps, the best bug catching time is now. So turn you children loose to find bugs and wildflowers now. Next spring, your children will think you’re a genius next spring.  Plus, you’ll be encouraging humility in their sweet hearts. We think that’s a win for mom. Listen in to see if you agree.

• Justice, the Cool Factor, Real Leadership When We Need It

  Today, Cathy and Anna talk about a big topic in our culture right now: Social Justice. But so much of what we hear is based on codependency. Thomas Jefferson said, “I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever.” So how do we differentiate between compassion and codependence? How do we teach our children to love true justice? Anna shares how to teach your kids to love justice in a simple way. Just teach them to love yard games. She tells personal stories about how her older nieces and nephews live out justice as they play with their young cousins. Plus, she talks about how justice looks in her classroom. Cathy shares the purpose of law. And it’s non-stop affection between this mother and daughter duo. Don’t miss the wisdom and the laughter!
