<p>Children without Virtues is an observation of where we were and where we are now raising children of our future-in a fast-paced, information-driven society, without discerning skills. The settings of family, neighborhoods, and community has changed drastically. We all experience a point of reference. Seeing and evaluating something for the first time, interpretation is key and needs guidance and input, especially when the subject is at a tender age. Individuality is what sets us apart from each other, and a healthy encouraging influence is life-changing in many circumstances. The current notion that what&#39;s bad is good, and what&#39;s good is bad has permeated the influence on our children. Parents will be more vigilant in dissecting and editing this information much more than ever before. As a mother and observer, I have become more concerned over the years of how we came to this place where children can go to school and fatally wound others, or literally bully children to death. I wrote this in 2003, after the Columbine incident, and it&#39;s been stored since in my files. I think it might be time to share.</p>
