Remembering Easter

Happy Easter everyone! Today's post is about Easter, of course. As a christian parent I feel it's important to let children know the real meaning of Easter. It's fun to see the cute bunnies, eat eggs and candy, but what is Easter really about? I have this email that was sent to me about the true meaning of Easter that I would like to share (the author is unknown).

On television more and more sexual content are being exposed to the public more than ever. Then there are more reports of these sick and sadistic sexual predators who target such young children. Now not to mention your children peers, kids are getting younger now with the knowledge of sex these days. Here are a few tips on how and when to give the big talk. Give the talk progressively as early as they can understand. Start to prepare your children on the understanding of their body as soon as possible. Start as early as 2 years old, when they are able to understand about their "no-no zone". There are just so many sick people out there targeting the innocent children. You have to prep
