Are we letting our kids down?

I have raised a step daughter and a Grand Daughter and both have picked up a lot of junk at school that has caused them serious problems in later life. Now I have an 8 year old Great Grand Daughter that lives with me. She is going into third grade next year and is already hearing little boys make sexy remarks to her. Now it upsets her but what about later. Are we wrong to allow our kids to be exposed to this kind of thing? I think we are. How should we try to correct this mistake? Is trying to keep our kids away from a lot of the other kids the answer? Is Home Schooling the answer? Don't you think God would expect us to protect our kids a lot better than what we are? I think He would. I think we should at least shelter our kids until we have had time to instill some things into our children. I think here is where we are messing up real bad and I believe we are going to be held accountable for it one day by God. I believe we should raise our kids in a true Christian home and teach them how to get into a position where God can Anoint them with the Holy Ghost. That way God Himself could personally teach and guide our kids when they were outside our homes and out of our sight. I think this is where we are dropping the ball very badly. I do know this as absolutely certain though. What is stopping us from doing this is the fact that very few parents have been Anointed with the Holy Ghost themselves. Without the Anointing God can teach us how to raise our kids and help guide us and our kids. It is sort of a "catch 22 situation". I believe the Anointing is the true key to everything and very few are being Anointed for the simple reason the truth concerning it is not being taught in the churches. If the pasture of your church gets up in the pulpit and teaches the real truth concerning the Anointing it will make him look like he is less than what he should be to the members of his church. This is not about to happen. Seriously think about this and see what kind of solutions you can come up with. Art

Are we letting our kids down? Yes we are, we expect them to be able to function in the real world but we do not as Christians prepare them to handle the things of the world. It is horrible that at such a young age your grand daughter has had to deal with remarks like this. I hope that you went to the school. Harasment like that is illegal and if you are old enough to make a remark then you understand what you are doing is wrong. I think that one solution could be homeschooling, but only if the person doing the homeschooling is capable of carrying it through to graduation. And is willing to do everything it takes to keep the child caught up not only in school work but also in making sure the child is equipt to handle the world that they will be thrown into at 18. If you cannot make that commitment then volunteer in the school so that you can be the example of Christ in your actions there and at the same time protect your child by being in the building. As far as anointing, that is up to prayer and God. Keep praying, God hears them. I know I have not addressed all of your post but I do not feel that I can completely, sorry bout that.
