Y'all, I am so excited to kind of pop into this episode just to intro it up. So actually they recorded this episode while I was on maternity leave. And I got to come up here and see it in person. It was so cute. All the kids getting interviewed. And I was just so thankful for this moment. But before we get into the podcast, my mom and two mama are actually hosting this podcast. And they're actually interviewing our kids, which is so sweet and so adorable. but I wanted to give you a little context as to why I want to do an episode like this.

So I'm a mom, right? I'm 28 years old, three kids, and it is crazy. It's hard. Like, all you moms out there, I just want to say, you're doing a great job. Christian and I were actually talking about how we want to, like, make little stickers or something to pass out to moms at the airport being like, you go girl, like you're crushing it. Because there's so much that you're trying to carry as a mom, just being a good mom, doing all the things right. you know, raising your kids to be awesome people and thinking about all the things social media is throwing at you. And it just can be overwhelming. And one of the things that helps me the most

is that I get to go to my mom and ask you for advice. If not my mom, I'm going to my grandma, asking my grandma for advice. And it's really cool to get to have such sound wisdom and advice from two women who have raised kids and they've lived through like a lot of different trends, I guess I should say. And I say that because some of the parenting tips of our day are just that. They're trends. They're like, hey, this is a good idea. This is something that we're trying. This is like the hype or the big thing everybody's doing, the method that's working. But it's nice to kind of hear your grandma say, hey, we didn't do that and y'all turned out just fine. And so I always think to myself, man, like, how do people do it without this sound wisdom in their life, without just like going to

someone who is, you know, anchored in their faith and really has raised a lot of children. And so with that being said, I wanted to invite them on the podcast for all you moms out there who might not have that voice in your life, who might not have someone to go to who can just say, hey, here's some tips and tricks that I did with you guys. Here's how we talk to our kids. Here's how we raised y'all and look at how you guys turned out. And so I hope this is a blessing to you. I hope that this encourages you in your parenting. And then also, if you're not a mom, if you're not a parent and you're like, should I even listen to this podcast? I encourage you to dive in because children are such a blessing. And even if they're not your children, I think we can learn so much to them.

And the Bible is really clear on that, that we can learn so much from children and the way that we influence children matters. So before we get into it, I just wanted to read this from Matthew 19. So Matthew 19, just to kind of set it up, all these little children, or these parents are bringing their little children to Jesus to bless them. And the disciples are like, no, we don't have time for this. And Jesus makes it very clear that we absolutely have time for this. We absolutely had time to bless these children. And I'm actually not reading it from the Bible. I'm reading it from this study commentary. It's the Bible knowledge commentary of the New Testament. And I just like the way it kind of paints it. But in Matthew 19, it says,

many parents were bringing their children to Jesus for him to place hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples felt like this was a waste of Jesus' time. They began rebuking those, bringing the children. And apparently the disciples had forgotten what Jesus had just said earlier about the worth of children and the seriousness of causing them to fall, which is in Matthew 18. Jesus rebute the disciples telling them to tell the little children to come and not to hinder them. The kingdom of heaven is not limited to adults who might be considered to be worth more than children. Anyone who comes to the Lord in faith is a worthy subject for the kingdom. This implies that Jesus had time for all of the children that day and did not depart from them in that region until

all of them had been blessed. And I thought that was really cool, just reading that commentary on the story of Matthew 19 that Jesus not only said it's not a waste of time, but it's actually very much so worth my time that I'll stay here and bless all of these children. And so I wanted to keep this at the forefront of your mind this holiday season as you're surrounded by little kids to learn from the little kids, take time to bless the little kids, take time to speak life over them and listen to the things that they're saying. It's so important and it might be silly, it might be fun, but just your engagement in their life is going to shape who they are and who they're becoming. So I hope this is an encouragement to all of you who are around kids

this holiday season. And for the moms out there, you're doing a great job. And I hope you feel so encouraged by the advice that my mom and grandma give during this podcast. Hey there, everybody. Welcome to Woe That's Good. I hope you are having a great week. And I am really excited about today. And I think it's going to make your day. And I think it's going to make your day even better, because we've got a lot of cuteness in the studio right now. If you hear anything, that is kids. Yes, we are doing a very special podcast first with my mom, Chris Howard, here in studio. And then later, we're going to invite some extra special guests, our grandkids, my grandkids, two moms, great grandkids to the studio. And we're just going to talk a little bit

about talking to your kids. This whole podcast is just going to be about how to have good conversations with their kids. How do you be your kid's best friend? How do you keep your house open and speak it off? We've got a little friend. Come here. You want to sit on my lap?

Okay. So Haven, if you're just listening and cannot watch, I got a little Haven on my lap, and she's got one of these little poppet toys. Very good. Okay. So we thought we would just use today to really talk about building relationship with your kids and starting that when they're young and how do you have age-appropriate conversations with your kids to just develop that relationship to where whenever they are older, they'll come to you with anything and everything. Sadie always jokes that I made her feel like I had to tell her everything. And I was like, yeah, exactly. It was purposeful. I wanted you to tell me everything. and so she always felt like there was nothing she could not tell me and not only could she not but she had to tell me everything and I think it's good I think your kids need to feel that that they can tell their mom anything and not only can they but they should so I really did

try to foster that in our kids and I know mom did that in me as well and so I'm going to throw it to throw it to two mama right now. Tell me how you feel about conversations with their kids and why it's important. Well, I think the fun thing about it is your kids all will have a different personality about them having conversations. True.

And my three kids, oddly enough, it was the boy who was the talker. I used to say Ryan could not get within 50 feet of me and his mouth was already moving to tell me something that happened in the day. That is odd because usually the boys don't tell you. much. Usually it's your boy that you kind of have to pull things out of, but I had a boy who was a talker. So that was great. And then your personality was so different than Ash's personality.

And so that's just one of those things as a bond that you get to figure out and have so much fun figuring it out and then how to talk to each one album. So I love that. Once you think you have it figured out, then the next one's different. The next one's different. And sometimes you do have to. work a little bit harder to have those moments of conversations with certain kids. Because I would say for you, Bella may have been a little bit harder than Sadie because that was just her personality. So, yeah, I think that's the fun thing. But whatever it is, that is part of our job as a parent to figure that out so that we can foster those conversations.

And I know as y'all got older, my time was at night after you got to bed. I would go into each room and have a conversation. You probably don't even remember that now. But, uh-oh. Now, this one, we don't have a trouble talking with at all, do we? Do you want to say hi? It's a microphone. Can you say hi?

Don't touch it. Don't touch it. Oh, she loves the new Snow White. She loves Snow White. She's telling us her new favorite movie. Her favorite movie. What's your favorite song on Snow White? Uh-huh.

What? Which one? Do you like Princess Problems? Yeah. Yeah. And Elsa. And does Honey sing it all the time? Elsa.

And Elsa. She loves Elsie. she loves all the princesses she does well I was thinking about how I think some of the things that we used to just have to do out of necessity because there wasn't things like iPads or or even TVs in the car or all that nowadays you have to be more intentional about it because there are so many distractions for your kids and so I think the car is a great place for conversation at you know dinner wherever so I think One of the real challenges is for this generation is in raising their kids is to limit the distractions

because there can be so many things that can pull you away from having those conversations that we just didn't have before. And I do remember when even like the first time I got a minivan that had a TV in it, of course, the kids want to watch a TV every time you're in the car. And I just, we didn't do that. We said, no, the TV in the car. car is only for long road trips, but we're not going to do it every time we're driving 15 minutes or 20 minutes to school or to church or whatever, because that is a time when you can have

really good, purposeful conversations with your kids. That's a very good point because every generation has their level of distractions. You know, everybody's going to do with that on some level. And, of course, when I was growing up, TVs came into popularity, and I'm sure my parents thought the same thing. Oh, we need to be talking to our kids. And yes, you do. So however, whatever the distractions are for your generation, it's your job to manage that.

That's right. Be in charge of that. This girl is just having a big time. Speaking of distractions. Would you like to sit on our lap and come have a conversation? No. You don't want to? She said nope.

Come here, baby girl. Nope. Okay. All right, fam, let's be real. The holiday season is beautiful. and absolutely crick-ray school is out the house is loud and I'm trying to shop for gifts and keep them hidden from curious little eyes plus there's always another party and a dish I promised to bring it is joyful chaos but still a little chaotic that's why I have been

so thankful for AG1 so that I can stay one scoop ahead of it all it's a daily health drink that's one steady thing in my life in the middle of all the craziness just one scoop once a day and you'll feel just like yourself but the best version of yourself age one is so easy to fit into any lifestyle they have travel packs i'll show you right here and actually new and improved travel packs um goes super easy in a water bottle not only could you do this in water you could also try it in smoothies age you want also has a lot of different flavors now so you should try them aging one supports my energy and also um my gut health that has so much superfoods probiotics vitamins all in one because no matter how busy this season gets, I want to show up with love and energy. If you never tried AG1,

I'm telling you now is the time to do it. If you are not on a consistent vitamin routine or you're taking lots of vitamins, this is just the easiest way to get started on taking vitamins, or it's an easy way to get everything all in one. It truly does make a huge difference. For me, I really did notice clarity and energy day one. And I know they don't even promise you that. I felt thought, though. So head to drinkag1.com slash woe to get a free welcome kit with an AG1 flavor sampler and a bottle of vitamin D3 plus K2 when you first subscribe. That's drinkag1.com slash woe. All right. You're so silly. So I know you are always really good about having intentional

conversations like after you would go see a movie, talking about the movie and what life lessons do you learn from it and stuff like that. I always say you could. it any, you could turn anything into a teachable moment, and that's just like the teacher in you. So talk about that a little bit. Yeah, I think that is a teacher in me because, but I really do think that any moment is a teachable, teachable moment. Everything that we do in life, there's some lesson in there to learn. And so for y'all, I was like that. I would try to pull out the answers to things that I didn't, I would not let my kids shrug their shoulders or say, I don't know. I would say, I don't know is not an answer. And shrugging your shoulders is not an

answer. So let's think about that again. Now, what did that show, what did that movie tell you about you maybe? You know, so I would think of those questions to kind of draw them out like that. But like we said earlier, all your kids are going to have a natural inclination to how they handle conversation. And so you don't want to embarrass them. You don't want to draw attention to them, but you have to be mindful that you're the manager of that. You're teaching them how to handle their emotions and their feelings and big feelings and little feelings and things they see in movies, their thoughts, you're the one helping them learn how to handle all those things. And they handle that by conversations to you. Yeah. We were having the discussion

of the day with Sadie and Christian about like training and discipline and things like that. And that scripture talks about train up a child in the way he should go. And we were talking about training. And you really do with children, you have to train them. You have to, that's part of teaching, you go from this, their babies, that you're just caring for them and every one of their needs. And that's your whole role for a while. And then they hit taller phase. And it is about like training. And part of training is repetition, practicing. Right. Practicing conversation. Practicing looking somebody in the eye. Practicing, what do you, when you're going to meet a friend, what would you, how would you, what would you say first, you know. Right. That role play. Yeah. Practicing how to do that. And that's part of that. training. Some of the things that we did in the car, I remember going up that the kids loved,

rhyming games. They love to learn to rhyme. And that's part of it. It's just games. They think you're actually, you know that they're learning things. They don't know they're learning. They're just having fun. Playing I spy, rhyming games. We used to play a fun little storytelling game called Fortunately and Unfortunately, where you would take turns and it would follow a little thing where you could say, unfortunately, it rained today. And then the next skill, has to add on to that story. But fortunately, I had an umbrella. It was a really fun one and just something that they can use their creativity and continue

a conversation. And we would also just tell a story game. Like you would have to say a sentence and the next person would say a sentence. And I remember with the kids and with my grandkids, we're just getting old enough with their great grans. But with the grandkids, like they have to learn that. Like, what is that? But you're actually teaching them how to carry on a conversation, which you're,

is an invaluable life skill. So when they learn how to complete a sentence or do a rhyme, all of those kind of things, are actually just learning how to have a conversation with people. Yeah. There have been studies done about just how much conversation this happens in the home and how that affects IQ and how that affects learning later in life. Just from babies, you should talk to your babies, talk to your toddlers all day long, you know, talk about what you're doing, talk about what you're feeling, what you're thinking, all those kind of things. It helps develop their brains and their language skills and their conversational skills and then also helps in so many aspects of their learning later in life that you don't even,

you may not even realize or understand. You know, our generation was the generation that really and truly set down around the table every single meal. And then your generation was the generation that we got away from that. And I was very mindful of that because the older generation was very, very critical of our generation because we found ourselves in restaurants more than we were around the table. But I used to say even that, it really doesn't matter. If you're a restaurant, you still can use that time meaningful. And I think we did that. You know, we still had a conversation

around the table. You ask what happened in your day. What was a good thing? What's high? What's a low? You can have those conversations wherever you are. So if you find yourself that busy mom and you're picking up the kids from football and you're like, okay, we're just going to stop on the way home for dinner. That doesn't negate that you can have a meaningful conversation around a dinner table. That's so good. Yeah. Yeah, Willie and I grew up very differently in that aspect and that their family was around the dinner table. Kay cooked three meals a day.

Literally, I don't even know how that was possible when I first, you know, joined the Robertson family. We maybe cooked three times a week. Exactly. We were like, wait, you actually cook three meals a day, what? But, yeah, ours was different. We ate out a lot, but we ate because we were busy. We were active. We were all involved in, like, all the sports and all those things.

And then I was teaching. Right. And so we were a very active family, but we had those conversations and intentional time, even if we were at a restaurant or if we had picked up takeout or whatever. It wasn't just kind of everyone go to their own room and eat a meal. And that's the thing today about not having your iPads out if you're in a restaurant where you can have a conversation. And I was telling somebody just recently they were flying. Oh, my niece had called and they were flying. And she was like, I mean, too, Mom, I just had to, like, give him anything.

And I said, there are times when you just give them everything. And one of those times is when you're on an airplane. Yeah. Because you've got other people involved. And you get the iPad out. You do give them food. You give them a sucker. And it makes those times more special.

because they don't have it all the time, that they do have it. And this is a baby. He's not even old enough yet. But as your kids get old enough to have a conversation, they need to have the conversations with you while you're around a dinner table. That will become so valuable to them. Yeah. And, you know, we're, of course, from an older generation.

And so you don't want to be those old people that are critical. But it is so interesting, you know, I've been places like an ice cream shop where parents, so they are with their kids and you and you know they like plan a little ice cream date or whatever and the kids eat an ice cream and the parent is on the phone or the you know we were just in Taiwan and we were in the subways a lot and it was really fun and we had the kids so we weren't on our phones because we were with kids and all this kind of stuff but you looked around and everyone else is in the subway on their phones and you know it's one thing if you're about yourself but another thing if you're with kids and with people they're seeing you and they're watching you

and they're watching you, and that's limiting the conversation. The kids are sitting there kind of left to their own devices while you're on your phone. And sometimes you don't even realize it because you're distracted and you are. And so I think that's why this conversation we felt like was really important right now, was to just challenge you guys as parents to be intentional about those conversations. Don't be distracted. Don't let the modern day distractions distract you by looking at your phone or the iPads distract your kids all the time. to where you're not having these conversations.

Well, one more thing too quickly because the laws have changed in the education system where kids cannot have their phones at school now. And I've already talked to teachers who've been, they're like, it is so fun to see the kids having a conversation at lunch. Like they couldn't have them in the classroom then, but they got them at breaks and at lunch and, you know, whenever they were not in the classroom. Which I'm shocked if I was even ever thinking. I know, me too.

I understand how they let them have phones in schools at all. I don't ever get that. But I've been following several teachers who are like, we are loving this so much because at break, they're out there talking to each other. At lunchtime, they're talking to each other. And wow, that's great. I've been seeing some things about things like the little clapping games,

you know, that we used to do or the jump rope games and the songs and all that, how there's been a decline in that. Kids don't know them anymore. They don't do them anymore. But how important those are even for your development, thinking about things like rhythm and rhyming when you do those little games and how you're learning coordination and also you're doing it with somebody else. So there's connection and interaction that's happening in those just simple hand-clap games.

And if we lose that, you know, they're losing, they're not realizing what all they're losing when they're losing that. It's not just something of the past. It's something about the future they're losing. So when you think, oh, we did that peace, poise, that was old, time of thing. But really, like you said, you're teaching rhythm and clapping and all of those things that are going to affect your future. Right. If you don't get those skills down that are so valuable.

We don't want to be guilty of. And Mary Kaye was doing a couple of them in the pool the other day. It was so fun to hear Ellen. Yeah. Doing those with John Luke and John Sheppie and Mary Kate. And I just love seeing that in the kids because those are things that seem like, oh, this kind of simple. It's just like, you know, that's all timey. But no, those are development skills that our kids are missing the skills.

We don't do it. Yeah. So I think that this conversation is not to like shame me anybody or make anybody feel like, okay, we did it better in this generation. because there were definitely things that we did not do right. And I think that we're learning from this next generation about parenting and about teaching kids and all that that are great things. But there are also some things that like we can easily lose if we're not aware of really the importance of them. So this is just kind of a little bit of reminder. And so we thought it'd be really fun if we invited the grandkids in today.

And we just asked them some questions. One of the things that I wish I would have done more of, honestly, I did it a little bit, and I have a few funny notes in my phone where I just quizzed our kids and I asked them things like, you know, who's your teacher, things like that, just to have them, have it written down, what do you want to be when you grow up, all those things. And I wish I would have done it more and written it down more intentionally, but the ones that I do have are so special. And because it just captures this moment in your kids' life of what they care about in that time and whatever age that they are.

So I was going to have my phone. So you can talk a little bit and I'll see if I can find any of them. We said we think this is going to be fun. So we're not really sure how this is going to come up. Because we do talk to them, our kids a lot, but they're still little. Our oldest one is six. So we've got six, five, four, four, four, three, two, one. I mean, they're all different ages.

So we're going to see when we bring them out here, how they're going to handle this. And it's one of those things that we tell the kids a lot. We'll get what we get and we won't throw a fit. So that may be how this goes today. We don't know what we're going to get. But when my kids were little, we didn't, of course, have so many things to type in and write things. And I'm like, Corey, I wish I would have written down more things. But we did have our baby books.

So we kind of did baby books pretty well back in that day. Because we didn't have any other kind of way. So I'm like you. I love to look back in there and see things that Ashley said or he said or Ryan said. And like, that is just like the sweetest memory to have that. So I would encourage you if you have a journal or you don't have a journal yet, just get one. And even if you just write down four things a year, that will come back to be some of the sweetest things that you'll find in your house. And just put it in notes in your phone.

If you're sitting there, you know, at dinner or whatever, ask a few questions. put it in the notes in your phone. It'll be so fun to have year after year. Mary Kate, I know, did that with John Shep and Ella recently. And one of the questions was, what's your favorite thing you did this summer? And John Shepard said, a fish with Kay Mama. And that just made my heart so happy because we love to fish together. And Ella said she loved Camp Chioca.

And she did. She loved it so much. And so it's just really sweet to see what they love, what they care about. and so yeah, just ask your kids to questions. So that is what we're going to do today, and we will see what happens. So should we invite the kids in? I think we should. Time to bring them in.

Here we go. You know what I'm most thankful for this season? Slow moments with the family that point us back to Jesus, because let's be honest, the holidays are a little crazy. Between decorating, cooking, all the events, easy to forget what we're really celebrating. And that is why I love Minnow. Minnow is an awesome faith-filled streaming service for kids with shows like veggie-tells, young David, God's greenhouse, and even the chosen adventures.

They make it easy for families to grow in faith together. Plus, the best part is it is totally ad-free. Right now, they're featuring the Laugh and Grow Bible Christmas special that helps kids really understand the true meaning of Christmas. It's fun, it's sweet, and it keeps their focus on Jesus, which is the best gift of all. Everything on Minow is designed to spark kids' curiosity about God and fill their minds with what really matters. and as a parent, I'm so thankful to have something I can trust to point their hearts back to God

that's entertaining. Isn't that a gift? Because let's be real. Kids want to be entertained. Such a gift, especially this time of year at Christmas. Obviously, as parents, we're trying to teach them the reason for the season and what's behind all this, but to have something that really walks it out with them that's entertaining, that grabs their attention is really special.
