Let’s face it, parenting is hard.

When you’re in the trenches of parenting, you need all the help you can get. Sometimes we get stuck just trying to survive the day when we know we should be more intentional in our parenting.

But how do we do that?

In this episode you'll learn:

• what to teach your kids, how to do it, and what ultimately matters
• more about family mantras—crafting a list of values and statements for your family
• checking in with your spouse for family meetings
• making fun a priority

Listen as Katy Epling and Sara R.Ward dive into a conversation on what intentional parenting is and how to take small steps toward being more intentional with your kids.

We include books, resources and great conversation starters for you and your whole family.
