There's an endless stream of books, advice, and philosophies on the importance of upbringing. I especially appreciate Dr. Wess Stafford's* take on childhood:
“CHILDHOOD - We only get one pass at it, and yet it dictates the quality of the rest of our lives. What we think, feel, experience, and endure in this earliest phase is the single most important indicator of what the rest of life is going to be like…”
At Granny's House, we're passionate about investing in this “earliest phase.” We invest kindness, hugs, mercy, good food, face-time, homework help, forgiveness etc. as we communicate our Heavenly Father's heart for the children. We often call what we do at Granny's House “smearing the love of God on the children.” Our goal is to “smear” rather than “apply.” -Granny Pam
