In a way, though, I'm not surprised. Lo...LOL. In a way, though, I'm not surprised. Look at what happens with so many of the stories in the Bible. Talk about violence and sexual references. But that's just it, isn't it. Talking to them about it and discussing what they've read and how it compares to real life to me is the better way to go for what it can teach the kids.dontpanic2011https://www.blogger.com/profile/03748395349482914590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5362433707008186716.post-82771504104410665582012-10-01T07:35:51.328-05:002012-10-01T07:35:51.328-05:00I'm glad to hear you enjoyed this post.

And I know monitored reading can get annoying - but to me it's part of being a parent. I also think it sets a better example for the kids.

The Bible. No lie.<br /><br />They have a little LEGO book with a bunch of stories from Genesis (to be fair, I think the book was intended for an older audience, it's just the kids found it on Robin's bookshelf, and I realized the "danger" too late), and they keep wanting me to read the story about Sodom and Gomorrah. Yeah, that's an easy one to explain. Or how about the one where Noah gets drunk and embarrasses his kids with his nakedness?<br /><br />And yet, the Bible doesn't generally end up on anyone's list. I figure, answer a kid's questions honestly, keep an eye on what they're reading, and use the opportunity to explain why your values might differ from the author's/characters'.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02887928096510492352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5362433707008186716.post-37109104922373069112012-10-01T03:03:22.685-05:002012-10-01T03:03:22.685-05:00I agree.

It really ticks me off when people say "Oh, that's a really bad book. Don't read it." And then you ask why, and they can't tell you because THEY haven't read it. <br /><br />I really enjoyed your stream!! :)CG @ Paper Furyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14954615708675952085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5362433707008186716.post-30716792054847544482012-10-01T02:01:32.981-05:002012-10-01T02:01:32.981-05:00That's a good point.

I think there's a point where monitered reading becomes annoying, but it's definitely good. I have Cait to moniter my reading. :) Most of the books I read she's already read. Nice and convenient. :)Mimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03166384979716659441noreply@blogger.com
