Summary: This episode opens up with a very short but powerful audio clip from the The Help starring Viola Davis, Bryce Dallas Howard, Octavia Spencer, Emma Stone © 2011 - Dreamworks/Touchstone Pictures. We use this clip as an example of what this show is all about... Speaking Life and Love and Wholeness over your children... calling out the best in them... the thing you may not see today but believing is in there. On the flip side checking ourselves as parents... to be less critical and slow to use harsh or hurtful words. Reacting to our children rather than responding is not the same thing... easy to say hard to do, we've all been there. We hope this episode of Roots and Wings Podcast will encourage and inspire you! Words are powerful and can bring both life and death. We should not underestimate the power of affirming, nurturing, love filled words that we can speak to our children... and we can not do it too soon or enough. Chip shares a bit about his personal revelation as a young father regarding this topic and Brittany's response in hearing it is surprising. As always we welcome your comments and ideas for show topics record a vice memo on your smart phone and email it to Brittany@chiprichter.com or Chip@chiprichter.com or if you want to just type your comment you can do that too. Either way we would love to hear from you and add your voice to the conversation.
