I'm not as far down the parenting road as you, but I tend to think that there's a way to teach frog/duck relationships in a way that is resistant to the person who comes along to point out that it can't happen. I'm hoping that when little Adu encounters this sort of doubter, instead of being insecure about his own ideas, he'll confidently stick to what he knows is true: frogs love ducks all the time.<BR/><BR/>This does bring to mind a somewhat frustrating cradle roll experience that involved lots of little animals (God made them) who then had little animal kids (God made them, too), and the teacher would correct the children when they tried to "mismatch" the animals. Now, I happen to understand the urge to teach children to group and sort, but when it comes to familial relationships, this automatic grouping and sorting by "like" kinds just seems like a short-sighted rehearsal of centuries of bigoted mistakes.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, spoooooooooooon!Justin Burtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04532881461650705372noreply@blogger.com
