Protecting your child should be a parents priority. Why is it that animals will fight to the death for their young, but humans will toss them the the wolves, claiming that it is the best way to learn to get along with others? Then when something bad happens they cry wolf and want the village to come do something about it!
School bullies have always been a part of the public education system. It's fascinating that the system has found a need to deal with the victims, but not with the bullies themselves. Gena the Guardian has more about Zero Tolerance or Daily Tolerance? Funny, in the past the best way to stop a bully was to let him know you weren't going tolerate him or his tactics. Now, that could get the victim arrested and the bully made out to be the victim.
Protecting our children doesn't always mean that you step in the way of harm. A parent teaches their child how to prevent harm happening to them. A perfect example of this is teaching our children about the effects of the sun on human skin. Michelle's got the skin-y on the sun and the best science experiment!
God has a perfect design for protector. It's called a Dad. Too bad our society has taken active steps against that important role, and forced him to become more like a girl. Come to think of it, he's expected to act more like a victim! Don't be a MAN! That's scaring people! Father's Day has past for this year, but that doesn't mean you can't thank your Dad for all the things he does for you. Jamin has a nifty Tip of the Day that will make your Dad smile!
