#1220: World View Sources

Initially, a boy’s worldview comes from Mom and Dad.

Beginning around the age of 4 or 5—no matter what you have planned for his schooling—he will begin to learn things from other avenues. Cool, fun stuff. And maybe dangerous stuff.

Some is taught quite intentionally in textbooks and lesson plans. Other worldviews and attitudes come from friends, relatives, the kid down the street and the many screens he’ll come across in the decades to come.

From teachers, grandparents, and coaches, much of it will be good stuff! What a gift that is to your son!

But what about the bad stuff? As much as you would like, you can’t stop it all.

That’s why your son needs to develop his own personal faith and convictions. And that’s another reason to visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.
