RE: Introducing my eight year old child to Malcolm X

in #life7 years ago (edited)

History is A great way for children to learn. It seems today parents are so busy, THEY don't have the time and energy to expose your children to these parts of history. Exposing children to history teaches them how not to repeat the mistakes of the past ! In today's world , I believe studying the past so we do not make the same mistakes, is very important. Also due to an onslaught of information kids today probably have a hard time making sense of all! This is where a good parent can guide their learning through reading. I appreciate your article due to the fact that I have an eight-year-old daughter and a six-year-old son and a one-year-old daughter. My children do good in school but I know they need exposure to important facts timelines historians. I believe it is my responsibility along with my wife to teach our children about these things you speak of. I appreciate your article and look forward to following you and reading more of your posts. I want to end this by saying good luck to anyone out there raising young children in this new high paced social media platform world. GOOD LUCK TOO ALL
