Hi Jeff,
How does one post something to the homepage weblog? If I ever get my act together, I thought that I would put together something on bringing up a child in a different country/culture (I am the poster living in Jordan)... Thanks |

I will give your account the permissions needed. The next time you login, you should see a new box in the lower right corner of the home page that has a link to create weblog articles. Click that link, and a form will appear. You can either type your article there, or copy and paste. Then, save it. The final step is to select "Submit for Review" from the menu that will be in the upper right. If you have any difficulty, send me a private message. Your article sounds like it will be very interesting. I lived in Kuwait for a year and noticed that parents would often let their kids run free in a shopping center. Contrary to here were parents constantly worry about their children being kidnapped, over there it was expected that any adult would watch any kid and keep them out of trouble. Is that true in Jordan as well? |

Thanks, Jeff...now I just need to get myself in gear to not only start writing but to also finish...
Re kids running free, yep, and not just at the mall. We see very young kids (as young as 3 or 4) walking alone up and down our residential street, which is filled with middle-class, presumably educated, families. While I am glad to be living somewhere, for a change, where fears of kidnapping or pedophiles are non-existent, it is definitely scary to see, given the complete disregard for any traffic rules...Sometimes I walk around here musing how many, if in the US, would have had Child Services called on them! While I try to put as many of my cultural biases to the side, some things are just too hard to overlook...then I remind myself of our two months living in Cairo where we were dependent on seat beltless (let alone car seatless) taxis for transportation... On the other hand, as you pointed out, adults (even teenagers) look out for others' children in this part of the world - no dirty looks if my own kid breaks free and makes a mad dash for the automatic revolving door...just a helping hand and a smile! They probably muse, in turn, at my constant "hovering" behind my daughter... |
