Rebecca Hagelin on Protecting Our Children

Rebecca Hagelin writes a good column on "Protecting Your Family in a Culture Gone Stark Raving Mad," which is the subtitle of her new book, Home Invasion.

Rebecca's article provides an interesting counterpoint in some respects to David Brooks' "The Virtues of Virtue", commented on below on August 7th.

Some of Rebecca's suggestions are common sense to many of us, including improving family life and taking a hands-on approach to your children's education, but it's nice to see a bunch of good ideas concisely summed up. I'll be checking out her book.

I mentioned in a post on Sunday my interest in improving my cooking skills this year. One of the reasons behind that is a family life improvement which Rebecca suggests -- more meals together!
