Wow Doc such a sad state of being for those few kids like that both there and here stateside.

I have noticed with so many kids these days that parents at least here try to get there children involved with so many extracurricular sports and other activities, that they don't have time to think about drugs and such.. But I have also seen children so frightfully booked that they have had no time to play and be normal children. They just work at this that and another so much that there is little room for imagination self awareness and growth in other areas. They also need room to grow on there own experiment within safe boundaries.. not drug-wise, but trying new things, reading, being part of a science forum through their own choice, for example, and developing interests that expand beyond that basic cut and dry education. They really need to be outside walking running thinking meditating contemplating being kids... prowling through the woods enjoying nature first hand, exploring nature..the night skies, the sun, the rain, the hail and snow..! Seeing everything feeling it like a crisp breeze on their faces... learning to go an extra step beyond what they understand to grow.. and enjoy life. You must enjoy life as its too short to just stand by with no left turns or stumbling blocks.

Parents need to allow change and growth but set up some good guidelines to provide a set of safe boundaries in which their children can reach farther then they are expected and allow their own curiosities to reach out and grab interests and explore new things within the safety net the parent and the child can set up and establish together as a team.

Children need to learn about the world around them, but a parent needs to provide safe ways for them to do that.

Whoops, hee hee.. I am on a rant.. sorry! I luuuuuve those kidies!

OOOOOOH he is lovely... how beautiful! Pongo is good!

How old is he?

DoctorBeaver · « **Reply #209 on:** 10/02/2008 22:25:09 »

He's got very good manners.

That white star on his forehead is the only part of him that's not black apart from his fetlocks & hooves. His coat is fabulous & really shines in the sun.
