## Resource

In this episode of Van Talk, we’re talking about creating a positive, peaceful environment at home, both emotionally and physically. We share how we discipline while staying encouraging, how we teach our kids to go with the flow, and why “maybe next time” has become a constant phrase when things don’t go as planned. We also talk about raising siblings to be genuinely close, even with age gaps, and how we try to keep our teenagers connected to the family as they grow. The conversation expands into the energy of the home, from the way we approach daily positivity to how our environment, even the feng shui of a space, can impact how everyone feels day to day. A grateful heart truly is a happy heart. We also touch on some of the more curious and unexplained moments that can come with kids, from co-sleeping experiences to conversations around spirits, angels, and things children sometimes see or feel.
