Forest Keeper, I love that, I believe that, I live that. Thank you for stating it so beautifully.
No, but I have made sure that they are aware of how many millions of children their age actually live in this world. In addition, when I discipline they are trained to know that if I get any lip that I will double it or worse. That is partly intended to show them to be grateful that they are only losing some, not all. I am a huge believer in the correct perspective on approaching life.
Your children are blessed because of your perspective on life. If they don't know that now....they will.

Thank you so much! It sounds like you have very well-raised children. :)
