There is also possibly a fight when there is that last piece of cake or pizza and each child is trying to get it for him or herself. Many children today have no concept of what it was like to live during an era when hunger was rampant and a child who took food without asking was probably causing someone else in the family to starve. In fact, the biggest threat to children today is not the malnutrition of famine but the malnutrition of plenty. Can children today imagine a life without breakfast cereal in every conceivable flavor? Do they realize that some people spent their entire childhoods not having nosh? Do children today realize that their families throw away more food than their ancestors ate? Other than on fast days, which children under 12 or 13 don't observe, do children know what being hungry really feels like?<br />I would say that if parents don't teach their children to ask before they take, they may be ill equipped to handle any situation where they have to go without something.rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03750230430610565818noreply@blogger.com
