i also had the opportunity to be home, raising them. i really had the control on the input they received, who they hung with, the influences they had. i am so thankful. it was never depriving them of information or knowledge or awareness. it was providing in age appropriateness, and keeping the adult world out of their life.

and.... i was able to.

i would watch my youngest, just a year or two ago, and listen to his questions, or seeing his lack of understanding, on issue too many young got.... that the should not be understanding yet. and i watch him today. getting those very things. just a couple years difference, but the ability to process at 16 as opposed to 14 and younger, is a big deal, in child development.

thanks for your post.
