Cerek, There t'aint but one "BEAR"

I believe parents do Indoctrinate their children, but what is wrong with that? After all indoctrination is teaching. The problems are not that children are indoctrinated, but rather what is the indoctrination, and why are they indoctrinated with the teachings they have been indoctrinated with.

My wife and I indoctrinated our children to think for themselves. Did that cause conficts, YOU BET IT DID, as they grew older they came up with their own ideas and thoughts, many where not in agreement with my wife's and mine. We also indoctrinated them to understand that others have the right to think for themselves. A person has to decide for themselves what they want, it's their life, as it is the lives of others. If somebody wants to believe something, great. They had better be ready to except the consequences of their beliefs. If they wish to discus their beliefs and persuade others, they had better be ready to be persuaded themselves. Ask questions, listen to the answers, if the answer makes sense why do the make sense, if the answers don't make why do they not make sense.
