I've often thought about the impact parents have on their kids and how much of it is carried on, I guess I never thought about putting myself in that same basket though until you mentioned it.. Realistically, I'm now in that same position - what I say and believe is carried through to my kids - how much of what I say and do is actually correct I wonder?! I'd hate for my kids to look back later in life and say "how narrow sighted were our parents!" I hope I can teach my kids what I believe, but also teach them to think and come to their own conclusions in life. Hi Mike, thanks for your comments.

Not because they are malicious in intent but because what they have told us is a product of their limited knowledge (I don't mean that as a critisim there are limits to everyones knowledge) their fears, experiences, and beliefs. As a parent I try to be truthful and look at what I am saying. My daughter is young and I have not been faced with too many challenging questions to date but I hope When I am asked for my opinion I will present as just that an opinion based on what I have experienced, read, researched, etc...
