Welcome to Faith First Parent! I'm so glad you're here. Let me tell you a little bit about myself.
Although I have many nicknames, my favorite title is Mom. My husband, Scott, and I have two sons. Typically, when I’m not writing, presenting or meeting with parents, I can be found in my kitchen, the garden, reading a mystery or skiing. My favorite pastime is traveling or taking part in an adventure with my three Danielson men. Above all else, I am a follower of Jesus Christ.
Over the years, I've spent a lot of time in school as a learner, teacher, and volunteer. My former career, before becoming a SAHM (stay-at-home-mom), was teaching kindergarten and first grade. Because working with children was a joy, I had the misconception that parenting was going to be a breeze. With BA in Elementary Education (K-6) and a MA in Education as well as certification in Early Childhood Education, I was confident I could do this.
Then my first little angel was born. It’s amazing what a mom doesn’t know when she’s handed a baby! Every first was a totally new escapade.
Needless to say, the birth of my two boys changed has changed my life completely. The Bible became my parenting handbook. Prayer became my most powerful parenting tool.
As a result of my own experience, sharing God's Word to equip and encourage families has become a passion. I work with parents in a wide variety of ways: privately, with individuals and couples, in small groups, and as a speaker to larger audiences. The parenting tips and strategies I share are practical, encouraging, and applicable. I promise to candidly share my life as a Christian wife, mom, and educator. And just to be perfectly clear, the stories I tell about Scott and the boys are shared with their permission!
As the co-founder of 1 Corinthians 13 Parenting, I have the opportunity to speak nationally regarding faith, families, and parenting. My ministry partner, Lori Wildenberg, and I have co-authored three parenting books, most recently, Raising Little Kids with Big Love and Raising Big Kids with Supernatural Love. Each of these has a companion Study Guide. Lori and I have also led conferences and retreats around the nation. My most recent project, Faithful Grandparenting: Practical Ideas for Connecting the Generations is a collaboration with my mentor and friend, Carol Olsen.
My education, teaching experience, and on the job training as a wife and mom have given me an appreciation for the career of parenting.
Serving in a variety of capacities within the church and community have provided experience from many angles. At church, I’ve worked on the Children’s Ministry Committee, taught Sunday school, led adult education classes, and served on the Elder Board and Deacon Board. In the community, I’ve actively participated in organizations in which my children were involved, serving on the local ECFE Advisory Council, Community Education Service Board (chairing the Board for one year), leading as co-president of my boys’ elementary school, and assisting with Cub Scout and Boy Scouts as a den leader, merit badge counselor, and ASM.
Currently, I consult with moms and dads, lead parenting classes and retreats, and participate in various local and national conferences. I’m on staff at The Berry Patch School, providing parent and family education for families and teacher training for staff. Add in bible study, prayer warrior girlfriend time, blogging, and dates with Scott as empty nesters, and it's a full life.
Faith in God is my priority. Joy is found in serving families. Let's journey togther.
With much love,
Becky
