Your children are in my prayers. I used to say “well, if the parents would this or that...” and you know what, the parents are 3/4 of a child’s influence, and peers are the other 1/4...or sadly to say, sometimes 1/2 or more. I just continually remind my daughter of the dangers and pray to God that he watches over her.
It’s good to know there are still a lot of good parents out there in today’s society.
I home schooled. We are so far ahead of the game. I cannot begin to impress on parents the difference their relationship would be with their children if they didn’t put them in a public school.
I remember not being able to talk to my mom about anything. One, she flat out told me I was exaggerating; she didn’t quite have a grasp of the peer pressure. But our relationship was so confrontational.
A majority of the time, I can have fantastic conversations with my daughter. There are still the teenage hormonal moments, but they are brief and easily forgiven.
