GINGER HUBBARD

Ginger, host of the Parenting with Ginger Hubbard podcast, and bestselling author of Don’t Make Me Count to Three, Wise Words for Moms, and I Can’t Believe You Just Said That, speaks at parenting conferences, homeschool conventions, and Christian Schools. Reaching the Heart of Your Child:  There is far more to parenting than getting children to “act” right. We have to get them to “think” right and to be motivated out of a love of virtue rather than a fear of punishment. Ginger equips parents to reach past the outward behavior of their children and address the issues of the heart. Move beyond the frustrations of not knowing how to handle issues of disobedience and into a confident approach to raising your children.

Ginger enjoys reading, writing and spending time on Lake Martin with her husband. Ginger is a veteran homeschooling mother of two children and stepmom to two stepsons. She and her husband, Ronnie, reside in Opelika, AL, where they enjoy working together from home. To learn more about what Ginger is up to, visit GingerHubbard.com.
