[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Been thinking about this lately. Both DH and I grew up poor/LMC but fortunately have the means to provide our future kids with better. What would you say are the classic or traditional components of an idealic childhood? Assume loving, attentive, supportive parents is the foundation. What are the extras or nice-to-haves?[/quote] Spiritual values that transcend illusions of class. Regular church, mosque or synagogue Gentle but consistent Discipline which is a strong form of love Community service so your children learn to give back Expansive awareness of culture: Library visits, museum visits, music classes, Healthy Physical exercise: combination of individual and group sports Keeping a close eye on friends and peers and steering towards wise choices in friends Acceptance and love for their true selves, which are likely to evolve quite differently to your dreams for them.[/quote]
