And amen! that with God's help those generational cycles can be broken.<br /><br />Sorry to see your kids going through these tough times, but wonderful you were there for them. Having two kids myself I'm seeing them both go thru these experiences. And also having taught in schools and Sunday school, I look at violent/abusive children and wonder what goes on in their homes. I wish their parents can see what effect their behavior is having on their little ones.<br /><br />God blessPeter Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04896115247438514660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-179396338033153826.post-54564203300052459282010-09-30T06:26:06.719-05:002010-09-30T06:26:06.719-05:00You are courageous for ‘breaking the cycle’ in you...You are courageous for ‘breaking the cycle’ in your family tree. For whatever reason, it sounds like these boys in your daughters’ classes weren’t so lucky with their parents. I’m sure that you will be having many discussions with your girls about why some people choose to act out in vicarious ways and that it has nothing to do with them. It also sounds like your school is in tuned and responsive to the behavior and actions of their students as you were informed by the school when your daughter was kicked. This is good because if you ever have to discuss any issues involving your daughters it sounds like they will be proactive.Clay Boggesshttp://www.BigEventFundraising.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-179396338033153826.post-1917808905612225682010-09-30T05:55:07.832-05:002010-09-30T05:55:07.832-05:00I have no answers to your questions about raising ...I have no answers to your questions about raising kids. <br />As a gay man with no kids, it's my duty to be the best example I can be whereever I may be in contact with younger generations. And older ones too. LOLdAAvehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10378341182741173178noreply@blogger.com
