A friend across the country recently brought a very interesting article to our attention. Written by Chuck Colson, it addresses the issue of the seeming epidemic of rude kids today--a trend that is hard to ignore if you're around children at all. We adults in America are growing accustomed to children ignoring us to the point of rudeness. No eye contact, no greeting, and a grumpy face are norm, not the exception these days.



This is where families who have worked hard to train their children to be "other oriented" (as we are encouraged to do in Growing Kids God's Way) stand out like lights in a dark world! When our Growing Kids God's Way friends come over with their children it it like a breath of fresh air...those children come and give us a hug and look us in the eye and say "Thank you for having us over Mrs. Reed," or 'It was so nice for you to invite us." Wow. What a refreshing change.
