My daughter will know that I love her, and I what I do comes from loving concern and not out of a desire to control. My words will be encouraging and not an endless rant of commands. I know we will grow apart as she gets older, but I hope to keep the lines of commutation open so that she won't have to "mend the bond, torn by pride".Leslie Monroehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976718086464887599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4027870719667125440.post-88917945880569950362012-11-28T22:27:13.381-05:002012-11-28T22:27:13.381-05:00I actually haven't seen Brave yet which is why...I actually haven't seen Brave yet which is why I read your post...I love your point about fighting for our kids' faith.

What I did appreciate, however, was the way the movie showed the hurtful and dangerous consequences of such attitudes and actions. I think it was an equal challenge to parents not to provoke their children to wrath by heavy-handed parenting and for children not to fling their parents' good advice to the wind in a quest for self-government and independence. Like in all relationships, there is a need to stand firm on the absolutes and flex on the negotiables. Thanks so much for commenting, Emily, for sharing your thoughtful and respectfully expressed concerns.

The blatant, "I can do this myself, even if I am a girl!!!" What about being and desireing to be pursued and cared for by the man God places in your life??? What about the dreams we all have about being swept off our feet by Prince Charming???<br />There are good things in this movie, as you said. BUT, we need to look at the other parts too. Do we want our girls growing up with the attitude of radical feminism in their minds? Is that how God designed things to be?<br />NOTE: I just put this out there as something to think about.

I look forward to my children questioning and challenging the things I have taught them because I believe that only then will they find a faith and trust in Christ that is truly their own and not merely a "habit" passed on from their parents. I hope and continue to pray that the lessons learned and gifts given by a loving God will take anchor in their hearts so that their questions will only build a stronger foundation for lifelong faith...but just as God gave us freewill so that we could CHOOSE to follow him, I choose to grant that same freedom to my own children.
