The weight of the world on really small shoulders
Now adays children are dealing with diseases that were once only recognized as “adult” diseases. There are a lot of challenges from toxic food sources, an over medicated health care system, vaccinations, etc etc etc.
The home and family should be one very powerful safe haven for our children and it is up to the parents to ensure it to be so.
Remember, their shoulders are still to small to be carrying the weight of the world.
There are parenting theories to talk to your children as if they are adults, and that definelty has some merit, though I believe we must allow them to be children, to play and only worry about children like stuff.
As parents and guardians one must be very careful not to bring the child into their adult world of worries; bills, woes at work, problems with extended family memebers, the state of the economy, etc.
