Practical Parenting Q & A Part II {Episode 26 with Wendy Speake}

Today I have Wendy Speake back with me for part II of our Q & A series!  We touch on some challenging topics which I think will be practical for a whole lot of moms out there!  From siblings who just do NOT get along, to helping a boy make better health choices, to technology (every mom’s favorite topic…not! :)) Wendy and I dive in deep, and try to offer as much practical help as we can!

NOTES FROM THE EPISODE:

Catch up on PART I of our Q&A from last week HERE.

Wendy’s Website:  Wendyspeake.com

Wendy’s book (co-authored with Amber Lia) on anger in parenting:  Triggers: Exchanging Parents’ Angry Reactions for Gentle Biblical Responses

A few of my favorite nuggets:  

Wendy’s super helpful insight on Proverbs 17:17!  (I learned something new!!)

On technology:  “We don’t open the phone until we’ve opened the Word of God.”  (boom!)
AND…“The phone is a portal to the world, and the Bible is a portal to the Word.”   (SO…who do I need to go to first thing in the morning?)  ROCK.  SOLID.  WENDY!!  

And I think you’ll love Wendy’s “Boy Mom Essential” at the end!
