For instance, if a child is earning money through raising animals for 4-H, certain science and math lessons are going to be very relevant to them. I do think it is the parent's role to guide them -- to help them realize where they might find the information that will best help them solve their problems. And I do think they need more guidance. Interests will arise as they are guided to different ideas and areas of activity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881402584568285627.post-4940388587077269142009-08-12T14:16:10.710-07:002009-08-12T14:16:10.710-07:00You may indeed have a point, Anonymous!You may indeed have a point, Anonymous!Simon Webbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10865289865412656573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881402584568285627.post-40575479240875545962009-08-12T06:36:06.866-07:002009-08-12T06:36:06.866-07:00"I am sure that even the most dedicated auton..."I am sure that even the most dedicated autonomous parent would not allow her child to live on sugar and coca cola.
