Every parent wants to know that their children are protected against those who have a particular agenda until they get old enough to make decisions for themselves.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Parents are supposed to instill a sense of right and wrong in their children and then keep up the due diligence necessary to make sure they don't veer off that path.
In every decision we make and in every policy we develop, we are committed to protecting those who cannot protect themselves... the very young and the very old.
Children have a right to some stability and constancy from the adults in their lives.
It is the uninvolved parent who has to resort to strictness.
Children should always feel like the adults are living in this world to nurture them, to take care of them, to protect them from any bad thing that might come.
All parents hope and pray that their children will make wise decisions. Children who are obedient and responsible bring to their parents unending pride and satisfaction.
Somewhere it is written that parents who are critical of other people's children and publicly admit they can do better are asking for it.
I think parents generally know what's best for their children. But I suppose it's possible to be overprotective.
Children are free moral agents and have a right to be exposed to a range of beliefs well beyond the rigid doctrinal confines of their parent's faith, and we have an obligation to insist that they be so exposed, at least in public schools, if not elsewhere.
Children need to trust and depend upon those who are responsible for them.
