We’ve become a subscriber to “Time Magazine for Kids”. Today we received two of their country issues (I believe they go out every 6 weeks?). These short stories are around 6 pages in length, and they highlight issues concerning a particular country amongst other things. My oldest two read about Ethiopia. They learned that some areas lose electricity frequently, for example.
Do I think my kids live in a bubble? Are they sheltered and likely not aware of what impoverished children around the world endure in their daily lives? Yes, absolutely. My plan is to expose them to these types of conditions as they mature and can handle things that are not so lovely or easy to process. My hope is that they grow up wanting to make a global difference.
