Practicing &quot;Self-Care&quot; does not mean you are choosing yourself over others.  &quot;Self-Care&quot; means that you are aware of your own needs.   Harriett recommends taking a big dose of &quot;Self-Care&quot; to maintain your strength and energy level in order to care for your family.  Find out what she has to say about the importance of &quot;Self-Care&quot; in this episode of Purposeful Parenting.

What IF?

Does your child’s behavior cause you to question your parenting methods? Do you feel like you are pulling your hair out trying to get him under control? You know you want him to stay out of trouble, do well in school and become a successful adult, but each day you wonder if you are doing the right thing? Or, have you just started your parenting journey and you want to get off to a good start and stay on the right track? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then join me, a wife and a mother of 4 grown children, 3 girls and 1 boy, all graduates of the United States Military Academy at West Point. Each week I will share the struggles we encountered raising our children and the principles we followed to overcome them. These biblical principles have helped many parents and, if followed, will help you too. Tune in each Wednesday… I will give you a weekly dose of Purposeful Parenting.
