SoloMoms! Talk

America's Reading Ambassador, Danny Brassell gave me an exciting interview in this episode. It was fun because Danny is as excited about reading as I am. He's the author of several books about reading and leadership.Main takeaway from Danny to parents: "Teach children how to read. Not what to read."In addition, Danny has this quick tip for parents who think their kids watch too much TV and not enough reading: Turn on the Closed Caption feature on the television. Closed Caption is the reason Finland's kids are top readers even though they watch more television. This interview is filled with anecdotes and stories that will warm your heart and let you want to go read to your kids right now.See what Danny and his partner are doing to help eliminate cyberbullying with Cybersmarties. https://solomomstalk.mysites.io/podcast-2-copy/how-to-get-your-sons-to-fall-in-love-with-reading J.

"Husbands love your wives just as Christ loves the Church and gave His life for her..." "...In this same way husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies."

My book chronicles my escape after years of abuse by my Christian husband to finding that God gives happier ever afters. I now live in Rhode Island with my four very spoiled bunnies, Skittles the cat, and my amazing husband and daughter. When I'm not writing or teaching I love to craft and create scrapbooks full of happy family memories.As someone who has experienced domestic violence myself, I found this interview difficult.
