Reply #83: more households parented as opposed to today for all different reasons. [View All]

that is not saying NO households parent today, just fewer. with fewer children raised in a manner of security adn confidence and growing up skills there is less influence from them adn more from children that have not been given those tools. these children will survive but the will do it with a skewed perspective, having their childhood forced in adult world way beyond their time.

again, that is not saying that ALL children experience this.

kids that are connected with their parents has a visual of what is happening to this society, and thru the connection with parent where talking, listening adn learning is a part of everday life will excel beyond our days, i imagine and what i see. but it is there and as a aprent it behooves us to be frank and observant to discuss with children.

none of it is all bad. opportunity always

we are big into books. i have had lectures from family how dare i take kids away from being children, letting them read adult level and thinking books. relatives ask, what do kids want for christmas and i say.... books, books, books. no toys and stuff out there. nothing they want. but always appreciate a good book. almenac a favorite and used and read repeatedly.

last year mother in law says NO books. wtf was my thought.
