[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  This is a very valuable conversation to me.  I mentioned a couple of times that because of our situation, I dropped the ball.  Some pp's are right, that what I don't teach her, other people will.

I appreciate the Muslim pp who talked about gratitude for having a meal to eat.  We have something similar in my religion.  I just fail to articulate it.  Or have failed to appreciate it and now have found the desire to articulate it.

I am Pagan.  I was Wiccan a long time ago, but no longer.  I don't mind being called a number of things.  I don't want her uttering those things in school yet.  Or witch or magic.  Or a bunch of other things.  I don't do spells, but think they are fun things we can do with kids at this point, like crafts.  I don't want her to do anything we'd label as a "spell" right now, and I certainly don't want her go throwing that word around.

I've gotten some ideas from this thread and a commitment to make sure it's our foundation she jumps off from.[/quote]

Thanks for the additional info, OP. I get what you’re saying now. I’m Catholic and admit that many people I know of all sorts of faiths would struggle with hearing witch or spell. Particularly newer immigrants from regions where an accusation of doing magic can lead to murder. I think more people could handle hearing about holidays like the solstice or blessings. Pagan is a big umbrella though. DH says it was starting to link up with white supremacist elements in the military when he was active duty, so there’s also that suspicion if your child is still in a base childcare center.[/quote]
