My mother says I borrow trouble - worrying about things before they happen - but I think about how to protect my future children. Things like not wanting them - especially boys - being out at night...not for fear of their safety in general, but for fear that the police will get them. I don't want to sit at home wondering if my child has been arrested.
In reality, who do I turn to when things like that happen? Not my parents. My husbands parents have passed. This is real, y'all. You know?

You just love your kids with more love that you thought you ever had before. And since you seemed to be already involved in a church setting, then you take them there. They will get the "REAL LOVE" that all children sorely need.
Not every little thing is bigoted when you view it with kids, but sometimes you have to pull adults to the side and let them know. My nephew just encountered some craziness. I am unsure if my brother set the "responsible adult" straight or not, but nonetheless, it was disturbing. However, there are other issues at play in my situation...
And start learning curricula education EARLY--like letters and numbers and have your kids walking in kindergarten knowing how to read 2 grade levels above...
My little nephew is a lefty... So he does not know how to write his name yet. It is going to be very hard to get him to know. But, he can be taught numbers, counting and reading in general. Appropriate for his age.
You should see him play concentration. It's a whole 'nother concept to a 3 1/2 year old... LOL
