Investing in our children's "spiritual core" is so important. I've been thinking about specific ways to do this in our home.
- Reading about heroic, holy, strong women and girls
- Talking about modesty and pointing out what is and is not modest
- Providing lots of opportunities for open conversation about what is going on in their life and what they think about it
- Responding immediately as a mom when they ask a question, express the desire to spend time with me
- Encouraging their own prayer life
- Encouraging them to write down or capture their memories, what is important to them
- Allow for good one on one relationships with other strong and wise women (encouraging Kate to play tennis with Aunt Jill, for example)
- Help them think through decisions and using their free will to make the best choices based on the unique individual they are
