Wake Up Right

Character influences all areas of a child’s life especially their convictions, establishes their reputation, and ultimate determines their destiny. Dr. Kathy Koch joined us on Wake Up Right this past week to tell us about her new book, Parent Differently: Raise Kids with Biblical Character that Changes Culture. She reminds parents that if they want to see their children adopt positive attitudes, act righteously, and develop healthy habits, then they themselves must lead by example in understanding and demonstrating biblical character. We absolutely love every opportunity to talk with Dr. Kathy, one of our favorite guests on Wake Up Right! We appreciate her practical insights on parenting and the character, educational, and spiritual development of our children and grandchildren.
