Izayah can drive me crazy 99.9% of the time. But when he listens & engages in awesome conversation with me, I'm proud to say that 100% of the information stays with him.

We were talking about his day at school just now. He mentions that his classmate was playing the touching private parts game. & something about being offered $5. I had to sit down and take that information in & ask him thoroughly wth he was saying. I called his teacher just to double check what the topic of this conversation was!

They role played and pretend to offer kids candy in return to not tell their parents about being touched. All the kids said yes, but izayah said no. Just this morning we were taking about stranger danger again. His teacher then offered him $5 and he still said no bc his mommy had money and can buy him candy if he wants it. He would run away and find the police!

I talk to him about everything you can imagine. I don't want the wrong person to brain wash my child and pervert his mind. He may not listen to me when I want him to shower or eat, but as long as he knows what to do in a moment of danger I'm ok with that...
