We're fortunate to be able to spend as much time with our children as we do, but that also makes it more difficult to separate. Their exposure to the rest of the world is inevitable. They'll encounter great things, as well as cruelty. All we can do is continue to do our best to educate and empower them. Kung Fu will come in handy as well.

We saw some behaviours by kindergarten-aged kids when we were in the schools (a nice, private Waldorf/Steiner school at that) that raised our eyebrows, especially among the girls. Lots of triangles at that age, and the "fun" of excluding people. But that happens everywhere at that age I think, as we see some of those behaviours in our homeschooling co-op, too.
