I appreciated so much, Brenda Still’s wisdom in reminding us that we have children now to look after, and we need to be mindful of their vulnerability and innocence. One of the few words of wisdom about child-rearing that my mother instilled in me, is to remember that when we are having adult conversations, children in the vicinity are listening. Even though they may seem distracted by their play, they are absorbing what we say, and do not have much of an intellectual filter, but emotionally they hear our frustration, anger, sarcasm, cynicism, or on the other hand, our pleasure, sympathy and care. Children need guided conversations about difficult topics, and we are so fortunate these days to have great children’s books which help us along with those conversations.

I am a Sunday school teacher and would be very interested in materials to use with children and youth, to be able to have age appropriate discussions.
Thank you.
