Building Lasting Faith in Your Children :: Glenna Salsburry [EP13]

Gems of Motherhood - A podcast by Sharon Kon

Glenna shares about the importance of cultivating a lasting faith in your children. A mother’s role is critical in planting the seeds that will make the difference in their children’s futures. Drawing a distinction between seeds of faith and seeds of values, Glenna emphasized how mothers are models and how they help children with their development. “I go back to the word modeling… my children knew there was a Source for our blessings.”She shares that it starts from the moment children can have the most simple conversation and modeling prayer is essential to planting seeds. Spending alone time with each of her children is also crucial. It helps build up their faith and values and it is incredible to witness what children can come up with when encouraged to do so. “Difficulties are part of life. If you have challenges and difficulties without faith, there’s no place to go.”Look for the good things that happen in life. A positive mindset makes a huge difference in a child’s life. Glenna shares her formula for building faith in her children which starts with being a good listener so that children feel it is easy to talk with their mom. “God is in charge of every footsteps you take.” What we chat aboutPlanting the seeds of faithQuestions to ask children to build confidencePraying with her childrenBuilding confidence in childrenUnderstanding childrenMaking dreams aliveFormula to bring dreams to realityConnect with Glenna
