Take a Pass on the Sass: Teaching Our Children to Communicate Positively With Their Words, Tones and Attitudes

Julie Dougherty

Is the tone a little deafening in your house?  Is the word smart not referring to your child's IQ?  Perhaps it's time for a lot less sass and a ton more class!  Join us as we tackle one of the great mothering challenges -- dealing with the words, tones and attitudes that our darlings like to share with us.  Is there any hope that we can help them share in a way we would like to hear?  Absolutely!  But be prepared as we may have to take a quick look at our own "sharing."  We all need a few tools in our belt in this area because sometimes what comes out of our litttle angel's mouth is less than heavenly!  Julie Dougherty is the mother of four, two college girls and two teen boys, and wife of 27 years to Kevin.  They are part of the First Baptist Church of Geneva community where Julie has been teaching Bible Study for nine years.  Julie loves being a mom, her heart's desire, and encouraging other moms on this very multi-faceted road.  Julie is a gifted storyteller who is sure to make us laugh with her own stories of sass!

Living with Less so Your Family has More

Our culture believes that bigger is better.  But when it comes to raising a family, many families find that simply isn't true.  Giving our family less materially can actually provide more relationally.

Living with Less so Your Family has More promises to strengthen your vision for your family, identify the attitudes and actions to live that vision out, and help you stand up to the adult peer pressure that surrounds you daily.  Mark and Jill have lived the less is more life for nearly 22 years.  Let them help you redefine your priorities in order to keep family first.
