This weeks episode is a continuation from last weeks where Israel Wayne and me discussed the history of socialization and what that term really means.  This week we discuss how it is positive family relationships beginning with securing your child's heart should be the focus and how to use the following four steps in accomplishing this task.

1. Do activities that are pro-spiritual.
2. Do actives that are pro-family.
3. Do activities that are pro-relational with all ages (not age segregated groupings).
4. Do activities that are pro-educational.
