You want them to learn to critically think about whatever the rule is and the reason behind it. You can't start too young. How much better would it be if you sat Nat down, told her why it was important to respect the Sabatth and then let her choose. It will mean more to her because it won't be Mommy imposing another rule. Then when she is, say 13, she has less to rebel about.<BR/>Just my two cents.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13432660802300973343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5050555110380676620.post-49897876555771649242008-10-06T21:22:00.000-05:002008-10-06T21:22:00.000-05:00This is so hard.
