My girls are 6 and 3, and I already wonder what it'll be like when they get older. I pray that my girls will have their focus on God, and that I will in my parenting as well!Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11979685280680438899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6396857547993213615.post-68333319213310893962010-01-16T19:10:30.016-08:002010-01-16T19:10:30.016-08:00I worry about my girls all the time.

And not just modelling good behaviour either. Raising kids who feel that they are loved and special goes a lot further in protecting them from the world than almost anything else you can do, and it sounds like you're doing just that.

We did the Christian school for a while and that is when we encountered the most problems. When we reentered public school my children did much better. I think that maybe we forget that any group, Christian based or not, will present challenges to deal with and there is no escaping that period of child rearing where you wonder if you are doig it right.Kathy's Klotheslinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17881966393157941515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6396857547993213615.post-35924380805109511962010-01-14T07:45:49.312-08:002010-01-14T07:45:49.312-08:00And in the end, your daughters will be bright and ...And in the end, your daughters will be bright and successful and the "popular" girls will have lost Christ in their hearts and head down a dark path with Satan. And you're not naive... you're expecting the very thing that should be expected of putting your girls in private school. However, "expectation that's not followed by action is not expectation... it's just hoping; and hoping has never achieved very much." <br />Stay strong in your faith and morals, and pray for those other ladies.

You can only keep praying and keep talking to your children as they grow up and hope that they see the path. <br />They say that Roots and wings are the essential gifts that parents must give to their kids, roots (the knowledge of right and wrong, the role model to follow and the bible as a guide.)<br />Wings (the freedom to journey into life and find their path, safe in the knowledge that the roots you gave them will guide them on their journey)Ra Ra Bazaarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11497777059484309272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6396857547993213615.post-3562800497502720462010-01-13T22:11:03.754-08:002010-01-13T22:11:03.754-08:00Hey there!
