Teaching them what is right what is wrong, and HOW to protect themselves. My oldest is about to be 6 and he takes karate, they teach them stranger danger, and they teach them to scream, kick speacial areas, poke eyes pull hair, the whole nine yards. I love it! I love that my son is educated, that he knows what to do if a situation arises that he knows is wrong. We can't change the others out there, you can't watch everyone, but I can keep my eyse on the 2 little ones in my house. I can teach them to fight, to stand up for themselves. I don't want to teach them fear of the unknown, I want them to have the knowledge that they can handle the unknown, thru their faith in God,and faith in themselves.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05894791350666099297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24335936.post-70525525788472375032008-06-22T14:44:00.000-07:002008-06-22T14:44:00.000-07:00Without wanting to sound at all dismissive or acce...Without wanting to sound at all dismissive or accepting of truly evil behaviour, sometimes things seem to have gone a <A HREF="http://glennsacks.com/blog/?p=2091" REL="nofollow">bit too far</A>. [I don't know the full facts, but on the face of it the story sounds like an over-reaction]<BR/><BR/>I don't want anyone touching my child. But then I'm not sure I want to prosecute anyone for speaking to her.<BR/><BR/>In church today, a homeless guy came in whilst we were drinking coffee. It is a family occasion, but we graciously gave him a free coffee (!) and then avoided speaking to him at all. It was like the whole room took a collective step backwards.<BR/><BR/>He gulped down the coffee and then staggered off somewhere else. Maybe he was pissed, I don't know. But from where I was sitting, he didn't appear to be a danger to anyone. He didn't even attempt to make eye contact with anyone, and got the hell out of there as quickly as possible.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02102663397567562979noreply@blogger.com
