We spent some time Friday morning talk...Amen Mich!<br /><br />We spent some time Friday morning talking about 9/11 with homeschooling too. One of the reasons that factored into us deciding to have another child was based that tragic day....(hard to explain, but I plan on posting that story soon enough. Her name was originally supposed to be Liberty, she was born the following year, Sept 12)...anyway....<br /><br />I explained in the best way she could understand what happened that day and yes, I did show her some video clips of the Twin Towers attack. I had both children watch that video I posted to also remind them that God was with all those people too.<br /><br />We def. have alot of the same parenting choices...this was a great post.~*Michelle*~https://www.blogger.com/profile/12973255141669832129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7136711453357118304.post-90563685380947889622009-09-14T00:44:05.519-05:002009-09-14T00:44:05.519-05:00Wow, I am surprised.

But like you said, this is real.<br /><br />My son was nearly 13 when it happened and he watched quite a bit of the news that day, as did I.momsthewordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14519343990735608713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7136711453357118304.post-59311862952843681602009-09-13T21:51:30.902-05:002009-09-13T21:51:30.902-05:00It's funny--we felt the same way, and watched ...It's funny--we felt the same way, and watched the real time footage on the history channel with the fam this year. Until our daughter (11) told us to turn it off--that she couldn't watch it. She was getting very distraught, so we honored her request. We told her that one day we thought she should watch it, but for now...for now we knew she understood the main idea, and for now...could be a kid.Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02576409086020993015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7136711453357118304.post-2023787981463811012009-09-13T21:00:04.164-05:002009-09-13T21:00:04.164-05:00Kudos to you Mich!

I remember seeing a video about the holocaust when I was in grade school, and now as an adult I realize the importance of teaching our kids about the world we live in, alongside the truth about our Lord and Savior who grieves at times such as these. War is ugly, but it is also truth, and as such, should not be hidden away.Deborah Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14415814125499548149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7136711453357118304.post-61777778512571277742009-09-13T08:49:52.917-05:002009-09-13T08:49:52.917-05:00I totally agree with you!I totally agree with you!Becca~CapturingSimpleJoyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15269232073211009288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7136711453357118304.post-9447279748055211422009-09-12T22:24:22.151-05:002009-09-12T22:24:22.151-05:00My Sunday School Teacher sent out the videos of th...My Sunday School Teacher sent out the videos of that day.... of people falling from buildings... of horrible sights.

I agree and I am proud that you have protected your kids from a lot of garbage.<br /><br />The reality of war and tragic events like 9-11 is a necessary reminder. <br /><br />It's hard for me to watch The Passion of the Christ because it is so realistic and horrific, but Jesus experienced that for us.<br /><br />Great post, Mich.Mocha Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18133819622642150044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7136711453357118304.post-70408982504695843542009-09-12T18:26:01.581-05:002009-09-12T18:26:01.581-05:00Mich, we are on the same page.

I too may be considered old fashioned mean and strict but I don't care. 9/11 is our generations pearl harbor and I am not willing to let it become a blur of history my kids don't fully understand. <br />Great post.<br />ElleElle Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15802857137836550901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7136711453357118304.post-3424312221725302102009-09-12T18:04:56.695-05:002009-09-12T18:04:56.695-05:00I completely agree with you on this issue for sure...I completely agree with you on this issue for sure Mich!christy rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04576305610780918375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7136711453357118304.post-1219738841751331852009-09-11T22:27:21.703-05:002009-09-11T22:27:21.703-05:00I agree.
