The words we speak matter.  Our words profoundly shape our children’s development, confidence, and spiritual formation.  There are words we say to our kids that we shouldn’t and there are words we don’t say that we should.  Knowing this is a lot of pressure.  In this week's episode, Carrie sits down with Amy Hughes, the author of the new book, Words Like Honey. Carrie and Amy share how to avoid  speech that creates unintentional harm, how to use our words to model kindness, and how to nurture our child’s faith through what we say.  If you go to bed each night kicking yourself for the things you said to your child that day, then make sure you listen to this conversation.  Pour yourself a cup of tea with a splash of honey, put your feet up, and join Carrie and Amy for a much-needed coffee break.  

Order Amy's new book, Words Like Honey: How to Avoid Unintentional Harm, Model Kindness, and Nurture Your Child’s Faith at Amazon.
