One of the best things about parenting is passing on your beliefs to your child. Whether it’s an Obama hat, a crucifix, or a football jersey, I’d say that if your kid agrees with you enough to advertise it you should consider yourself a success.
Thank you!
I think when they are older that’s the case, but a 6 year old is not going to understand.
If a kid is too young to know where babies really come from, then they can’t understand about abortion.
If kids are too young to know where Iraq is, then they can’t understand about the war over there.
If kids are too young to understand how solar energy vs nuclear energy, then they are too young to understand about that debate.
If a child doesn’t know the difference between a legal immigrant and an illegal immigrant then they are too young to understand about that issue.
For example, my kids learned what abortion was when I told them about how babies are made.
This past election, I had my 14 year old son go to vote match and read up on the issues. I didn’t tell him who I was supporting. I told him he needed to figure out where he stood on the issues and then find a candidate that he liked based on that. (He matched Fred Thompson!!)
My 12 year old twin girls don’t understand all the issues (the economy, healthcare, and Ira are the most confusing for them). My girls were shocked that their “Christian” friends were supporting Obama because of his abortion stand. My girls understand that. My girls also understand about the whole global warming issue. My girls also understand the whole education debate because we had lots of problems with public school.
