It is our responsibility as parents to raise happy, healthy, responsible children. I also think that although there are some negative aspects of the world we live in, there is much more good--if we choose to look for it. The media gets a better response by printing and viewing negative news, so that's what we see the most of in our lives (the yucky stuff)--it doesn't mean that's reality. As humans, we're biologically wired to look for the negative as well--it helped us in the past to steer clear of danger and to be more wary. It still helps us, but with the constant negative news being thrown at us, it's become a struggle to remain positive about the world, and harder to believe in humanity and its goodness. If you as a parent have a positive view of the world, this can be a gift from a parent just through modeling. Are there bad things that happen in the world, with people doing bad things? Yes, unfortunately yes. But that is an exception that has been given a whole lot of attention and time from the media. Boy, I guess I have a lot to say about this! I'll wrap it up....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16426299111300172589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8298495743010015328.post-70393819193828607182013-06-13T05:34:02.086-04:002013-06-13T05:34:02.086-04:00Well said, Sandra.

As you point out, darkness is just a reminder that we need to raise our kids to let their light shine, whether it’s being a hero during a catastrophe, or a good friend to someone in need.Nicole Robinson @MyCollegeBabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01531826795871736706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8298495743010015328.post-11443043506914647752013-06-13T03:26:05.749-04:002013-06-13T03:26:05.749-04:00Well said!
