STRONGLY AGREE.

I'm even more radical.

I know, what a shock.

I believe children old enough to understand need to be taught to hear God well and reliably. They need to be taught to follow God regardless. They need to be taught that them and God can survive anything.

Then they need to be talked to and led through various scenarios likely to occur in the future . . . somewhat like a though experiment boot camp.

And always taking their fears to God who has Peace that passes understanding.

AND MOST OF ALL, LIKE YOU ASSERT--THEY NEED TO ****SEE**** THEIR PARENTS BEHAVING SIMILARLY--TRUSTING GOD FOR EVERYTHING AND INCLUDING GOD IN THE DAY'S DECISIONS AND PARTICULARLY KEY DECISION POINTS.

Children need prepared. Thank God for their angels. But they need prepared in their thinking, their reflexes, their attitudes--and especially to hide the Word in their hearts and keep THAT BLESSED HOPE in focus regardless of the darkness around them.

Being wise as serpents and harmless as doves in the process.

IMHO.

THANKS FOR YOUR IMPORTANT POINTS.
