Yes, this is it my final blog about CAMD. I haven't blogged in several days about the book and in the meantime, have finished the book. The last few chapters did a great job of summing up the premise of the book and continued to make my brain cells work overtime. Overall the book was very thought provoking and I believe a good parenting book for any parent, whether you have boys or girls.
There is alot I could discuss over the last 4 chapters, but I think I will just wrap it up in a non-controversial manner, encourage you to read the book and let me know what you think. Marketing and media grab hold of our kids, no matter how old they are. The best defense we have as parents against media, music, and movies, is to talk WITH our children. That is unless you want to move to Sweden where marketing to children under twelve is acutally illegal. We could take a lesson from Rapunzel and her mother, it is not our job to keep the world at bay but to prepare our daughters so they may thrive. However, I think the same goes for our boys.
Who knows what book I will get my hands on next that warrants blogging about but you will be the first to know!
