TEACHING CATHOLIC MORALITY TO CHILDREN Recently, the woman from whom I purchase my morning coffee commented on the perils of raising her teenage daughter. In a voice filled with weariness and irony, she told me that she had to place her sixteen year old daughter on birth control pills since she and her boyfriend were now into a "meaningful relationship." Her absolute powerlessness in the face of her daughter's insistence on being sexually active seemed so typical of how parents are portrayed in the media, on television and in the movies that I had to wonder if the influence of these powerful means of communication may be at the roots of the confusion of so many parents today.
The Importance And Method Of Teaching Children Morality Civilization is a shared understanding, and the only way a civilization can maintain this understanding from generation to generation is by that understanding being passed from parent to child, which is how a civilization keeps itself alive. Importance Of Early Infantile Experience The nature of an understanding depends upon its founding values, which makes morality (the actual values adopted) the vital concern for parents, with the early experiences of infancy the most critical for the formation of understanding in a child. This means that the lessons taught to the infant during the first weeks or months of its existence are the most important, as every subsequent value must reflect those values already adopted by the maturing mind of the person. For once the foundation of values is set, it is for life, with the values taught during child rearing becoming a permanent part of the adult's understanding.

A Focus on Boys' and Men's Issues Equity issues often seem much more complex than they really need to be. The notion that neither race nor gender should have a bearing on how an individual is treated or judged is simple enough that anyone can understand. So, why then all the fuss?
