I think education is really important to helping children learning to think critically about their lives and make good choices, either with or against their parents examples.<br /><br />Your stories were so interesting, especially when they comes from other cultures. Anytime we can show global results for a phenomenon, they instantly become more intriguing and believable.Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12159824863527640502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3230288215309238824.post-2720038556279530542011-05-25T00:31:34.298-07:002011-05-25T00:31:34.298-07:00Blogger was in trouble yesterday - no comments all...Blogger was in trouble yesterday - no comments allowed. Bri Colorful tried to post this:<br />I just wanted to let you know I read Riveted today and enjoyed it. We've talked about something similar in my poly-sci class: that voter demographics are usually pretty predictable because you tend to vote the same way your parents do. The institution of the family is most powerful for sure. Institutions of religion and education (often controlled by state) follow closely behind. If you can align all three in their life, you have great power over the person a child becomes. <br /><br />We've been discussing this determination v. individualism debate (ie. nature v. nuture if you want to simplify it) in one of my theory classes. I think Louis Althusser's theories on Ideological State Apparatus's and the influence of the "interpretive community" that we grow up in are very interesting. You can read more about them here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Althusser#Ideological_state_apparatuses under the ISA heading.Ramona Zabriskiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16872101764302006271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3230288215309238824.post-21946425389610353162011-05-24T20:37:29.463-07:002011-05-24T20:37:29.463-07:00I can see and feel my influence on my children dai...I can see and feel my influence on my children daily. Sometimes it's just above me.<br />Looking back on my past, I can remember moments as a child where I was introduced to false principles and KNEW they were wrong.<br />I'm so grateful for the teachings of the gospel of Jesus Christ that help me to know HOW to teach such innocent beings. Additionally, I'm grateful they come with their own light that helps them see between truth and error!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03483402251940709081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3230288215309238824.post-74000676347586407142011-05-23T07:19:00.276-07:002011-05-23T07:19:00.276-07:00The more I learn about how children learn (???) :)...The more I learn about how children learn (???) :), the more carefully I treat very young children. The first three years of life are when they are absorbing the very most - shouldn't this be the time to instill virtues and habits to last a lifetime? I know some people would tell me I don't know what I'm talking about, but as I've watched my nieces and nephews and the many other little children I know, it's been surprising how much they learn and how much they can do at such early ages. Not to mention being consistent as they grow older. (Thank you, Elder Bednar.) :) I have to say I am grateful for the time I've had to observe and plan out a parenting strategy versus just being tossed in with no idea of what is going on. I like what crumbcrunchersmom said about kids deserving our love and respect. I enjoyed observing her do just that with her children.<br /><br />This feels like just a spewing forth of thoughts. Hopefully they make a little sense.Sara Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05845719758900364574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3230288215309238824.post-52651146754471500472011-05-22T22:08:24.228-07:002011-05-22T22:08:24.228-07:00Kids deserve all the love and respect we can give ...Kids deserve all the love and respect we can give them, for sure.
