My son has a decent sized circle of friends and we’ve had them over at our house numerous times. Most of them have similar values, but there are the few that are starkly different. I know all their parents, and know their personalities. Amazingly enough the kids who’s attitudes I don’t care for are “Mini Me” versions of their parents. But is it Genetics, or lack of teaching them values at home? I don’t know the answer to that one.

…..who are you calling old!

I truly believe, as demonstrated by your son, that children are very caring and compassionate by nature. It seems it changes as we grow up….too bad for us older folks, eh!

You can't teach compassion, but kids definitely follow the examples that parents set for them. WeaselMomma´s last blog post..MicroBiology Meets Weaselville

@Treemama –

Life would be a lot easier if we grownups took some time to look through it through childrens eyes every now and then.

Thanks for dropping by.

@SWC –

Don’t get me wrong, he’s not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but he does things that warm the heart from time to time.

Thanks.
