Hi Beth, I have no children of my own but I have nieces and nephews that have been a big part of my life. I do know that children learn by example. I have seen in my lifetime that children that come from broken homes act out more than children who have parents at home. My nieces and nephews were raised with so much love,admiration,and attention that they see their world differently than other children. My grand niece (25) and her daughter (6) are very honest with each other. The older one answers all her questions, and she the younger one asks every question under the sun. I do think older people sqwelch the childrens souls when they want to be kids. Parents put boys and girls in their boxes. I do think that is wrong. I have always told the young kids in my life that the world is theirs for the asking. Thats a better response than shut-up or be quiet I am watching Oprah. Adults forget that they were once kids themselves. I think that when you give your kids a solid base like that they can face a world of hatred and violence and come home unscathed. Oh by the way, you start the process when you FIRST look in to their beautiful eyes.
