Practical Benefits of Being a Stay-at-Home Parent

We continue our conversation with Beth Embry and Debbie Roszel. This conversation provides practical guidance for wives and mothers questioning if they are to transition to the role as a stay-at-home parent. The truth is, in our culture, we have evaporated the margin in our lives to contemplate the deeper things of life. Staying focused on a career and remaining non-stop busy could be preventing your family from truly flourishing as God has intended. Some of the benefits of being a stay-at-home parent:

• Positions your kids to be homeschooled.
• Abolishes possible guilt for “not being” there for your child.
• Establishes a value on family, as opposed to material possession.
• Exposes the truth behind the pressure to “have it all.”
• Prepares an example of how family is to sacrifice for one another.
• How a stay-at-home parent navigates the digital age.
