Fantastic--thank you for this even handed, eye opening, wise article about raising children in an increasingly secular world--and some of the "woke" terms used were new to me. My kids are now college age and on missions, but I think young adulthood is also a time of incredible challenge as they strive to be adults and feel wise in their own eyes and are excited by new ideas etc. and are still so influenced by their peers. We have found that the Church's emphasis on having pre missionaries become ordinance workers in the temple, is an incredible foundation to ground them.
I love the author's distinction between rejecting ideas but not rejecting people and for her belief that our kids are not here by accident at this time and in this place
