Beware of organizations and people that say and write much but communicate nothing.
In an evil society, there are many “loose cannons” in essence, people who believe themselves to be like God. Some, without knowledge, decide and judge for themselves what is right and what is wrong. Other “loose cannons” follow occult practices.
Maiming people or brain damaging people is likely considered by God to be the equivalent of killing people and stealing from people, in violation of Two Commandments.
One has noted a marked change in children during the past forty years. Children have become increasingly less patient and tolerant of any small obstacles in their life.
Many parents of young children organize ”play groups” where parents socialize their children to other children in the community. While the children are engaged in play, parents sometimes use this time for adult socialization as well. Based on the information in the other commentaries and some books in the bibliography, parents may want to consider changing the unstructured nature of “play groups” to a more defined and focused agenda. A suggestion is to provide for a school curriculum where small groups of children can learn together. Parents could alternate homes and perhaps alternate teacher/parent(s) for this endeavor.
For the past thirty years or so, one method of disciplining a child was widely promoted by the media known as the “time out” concept where a child is confined to a chair or a room for a designated time period. For some children this is a reward and not a punishment. Perhaps because of the extensive use of daycare providers (with litigation concerns), only one or two forms of disciplining a child was and is currently being promoted to parents as acceptable by experts and the media. Recognize that based on the type of wrong behavior, there are many ways to discipline a child to include time out, scolding, loss of privileges, loss of companionship for a specified time, silence for a specified time, spanking, and washing a mouth out with soap for some examples.
One should not as a parent admit to children in most circumstances past immoral behaviors as these “confessions” could result in one’s child becoming engaged in like behaviors using the excuse that one’s parent(s) participated in the immorality.
Until the serious problems of immorality in the secular schools are rectified, homeschooling is a good way to considerably eliminate a child’s exposure to evil. There are a variety of school curriculums that can be scrutinized and purchased on the internet to facilitate the teaching and learning of children at home. For those people with time constraints, high school and college education majors could be hired to assist with the homeschooling process. Understand that a good way to teach children is to provide a strong foundation in the basic subject areas (see the recommended subject areas in the secular education commentary), for the early childhood years through ten years old. Beginning in the pre-teen years, start teaching with an initial overview of the course to be studied and learned. This approach for example, provides the student with an understanding of purpose, relevance, and expectations. Students
