Our young girls and boys find that the media's representation of love, friendship, etc is mainstream. Where are the parents in this process. Parents, we must communicate more with our children. I know, "if I get my son or daughter to respect their peers, there will be other children who don't so why bother." I am not sure what to even say about that.
If you wash your hands of a situation because you don't want to deal with it or don't feel it will matter, you are creating the outcome yourself. Simply put (Jack Canfield's E + R = Outcome)! you have the responsibility to deal with the teaching and respect in your backyard.
As for those other young children and their parents' -- we really need to open our eyes, hearts, and mind and stop driving with our eyes closed!
