How do we let our children gain their independence while still making sure they'll have tomorrow to learn from their mistakes?
Gone are the days of pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey or even wondering if kids still play spin the bottle. On Thursday, Robbinsdale Schools called and emailed all middle school parents to tell us about the choking game. And yesterday, Dunwoody Patch, just outside Atlanta, reported that a 10-year-old boy there died from the choking game last week. This is not something I wanted to think about. I fear the thought of my children getting hurt by something they did themselves. And that got me thinking—how do we save our children from themselves? When kids are young, we have to watch them at all times. As demanding and exhausting as this is, you can usually say with great certainty that you know what they’re up to—then they become teenagers. Suddenly…

My son was also exposed to the choking "GAME"... he was taught by a youth pastor on a missions trip. After researching it, since I had never heard of it before, I saw that kids died from it, or were in a vegetable state. We were even on national TV (Fox news) about it. Now, 10 mos. ago, they found my 21 yr. old son hanging.... with his tip toes on the floor...which they said was suicide...I say … more ›
