Raising children in today’s world isn’t easy. Between busy schedules, screen time, social media, and all the pressures kids face, it can be hard to know how to keep our families connected and grounded in faith.
In this episode of Welcome Home by Gina, I’m joined by Dr. Mel Tavares, an award-winning author, speaker, and experienced family counselor, to talk about her book, Make Families Great Again, and why strengthening our families starts right at home.
We talk about the importance of making time for meaningful conversations, putting our devices down, being intentional with family time, and teaching our children biblical values in everyday life. Dr. Mel also shares practical wisdom on managing extracurricular activities, navigating the online world, staying involved in our children’s education, and making choices that reflect what matters most to our families.
One thing that really stands out is this: our children need connection, not just a packed schedule. Sometimes that connection happens around the dinner table. Sometimes it’s a simple snack together after a long day. And sometimes it’s just taking a walk and using an ordinary moment to talk about God and His Word.
We may not be able to control every influence our children face, but we can be intentional about the time we spend with them and the truths we teach them.
If you’re a Christian mom, dad, grandparent, or caregiver who wants to raise children with strong biblical foundations, I hope this conversation encourages you and reminds you that the little things you do each day matter.
