Said so much better than I could…
My friend Marabeth read my post below and forwarded me this link, an article about a child’s natural tendency towards guns, violence, power and aggression. It was really interesting and I learned things I had not heard of before and also reaffirmed some of the ways we have been handling guns that I didn’t really articulate below. When Declan brings them up, I don’t freak and we talk about it. (OK, I do freak, but I try not to show it). But this author gives some really concrete info one the how, whens and whats for handling kid power.
Thanks, Marabeth!
