Unfortunately, many of the court cases brought over the last decade or so have not met with the wished for results—including for First Nations families who were in need of funding for children with severe disabilities. <a href="https://www.storknet.com/product-reviews/best-sippy-cups/" rel="nofollow">learn more</a><br />jhonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08258690520992269231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2161952406991659862.post-10180698025173027452011-05-27T19:20:06.544-04:002011-05-27T19:20:06.544-04:00Laxmi13: I'm so glad you raise the issue of wh...Laxmi13: I'm so glad you raise the issue of what's "positive" and "negative"... these are indeed relative terms. And yes, 100% agree that consistency is very important in teaching kids family values. I would say that consistency is one of the most important and universal ingredient in parenting. When parents are consistent with their kids and with each other, then tackling issues due to cultural differences (or whatever else) becomes much easier.

It's definitely true that a person's culture influences him/her but it's easy enough to have two people of the same culture with different values or different cultures, similar values.<br /><br />My husband and I grew up in different types of cultures, different types of parents, different races, different... almost everything! But by the time we met, our philosophies & moral values were so similar, it was eerie! Obviously we don't agree on everything, but we tend to agree on politics, religion, how to live our lives, how to raise our children & even good books & other entertainment. Sadly he hates country music...<br /><br />But what we hope works is to be consistent in our words & action. It's very cliche. We say what we mean and mean what we say. We don't lie to him. We tell him what we believe and let him make up his own mind, with lots of guiding.<br /><br />We can just hope that he sees that our way has led us to leading very happy lives. And that he chooses it over whatever else is available to him. But in the end, as parents, it would be hard to argue with any choices he makes that are healthy and make him happy.Laxmi13https://www.blogger.com/profile/12497950732256690634noreply@blogger.com
