Ep. 231 - Keys to Raising Strong Young Men who Love Jesus from Mom of Four Boys Monica Swanson
Author and speaker Monica Swanson declares that the key to successfully raising and homeschooling her four boys has been demonstrating an authentic love for Jesus. This mom raising world-changers in Hawaii has written an incredible book full of advice on parenting boys called Boy Mom: What Your Son Needs Most From You. She also points out that making time to have meaningful conversations with her boys, helped point them to Christ and deepen their relationship with Him. Monica shares that although there are so many expectations and pressures from the world, parents can’t do it all! What do you want your kids to leave home with? Focus on that. What can you cut out that’s not necessary? Make those changes. In Monica’s family, they focus heavily on protecting their kids’ hearts while allowing them to face appropriate challenges.
