Thoughts and reflections on chapter 1 of How to Have a H.E.A.R.T. For Your Kids: Moms, we need to be responders, not reactors. What’s the difference? A reactor acts in reaction to the the situations around them. If the surrounding environment is screaming and chaos, the reactor acts with the same – screaming and adds to the chaos. Responders act from within. They pour out what’s inside them to add peace and calm to a situation. It’s about being intentional and that starts with taking care of mom and our relationship with God.
