Just stumbled you site and thanks for recommending the link you've found. This will give me more knowledge in parenting, it's issues, resolutions and more...and I just realized now the that parenting without religion is something unusual for me because as you know I'm a believer. I'll hang around in this site and see for myself what are the differences between parenting without belief and parenting with great attachment with Him. -Jan Hi there!

I think at this age (they have just turned 4) they need an answer that is more definitive than "some people believe this or that". But at the same time I feel it will freak them out to hear the brutal honest truth that the end is the end. I was hoping you could share your wisdom with me or suggest some reading. Thank you Hi Noell

I like the way the topics are catagorized and the fact that it is moderated should greatly enhance the quality. It will be interesting to see what comments come into the "Wonders of Science" catagory. As I have commented before, last year I worked on the development of a class titled "Science Literacy for Nonscientists" and though it was geared to senior citizens, I hadn't considered how it might be applied to children. I suspect it would need to be used at the high school level. I am quite excited about the fact that a program at California State University has requested that I make a presentation in the form of a series of biweekly classes this coming Fall semester. Again it is aimed at senior citizens in the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute but there is very little, if any, math involved and the approach is to explore the nature of science as a process and then identify and understand key principles of science, get some background on how the scientists came up with them and then relate them to our lives today.
