The Essentials of a Healthy Home

Do you remember the old cereal commercials that talked about eight vitamins required for growth? Well, the Bible lays out eight essentials that a child needs in order to grow spiritually and emotionally healthy:

Without a doubt, it’s easier to give your child a daily vitamin/mineral supplement than it is to provide a home environment that embraces all the essentials for spiritual and emotional development. Yet with time and practice, qualities such as affirmation and affection can become hallmarks of your household.

— Traci Pedone
