For future reference

There are times when I think 'I must remember to teach my Princess that when she is older. These things are a bit complex for a three year old mind but I think about how important it is to teach life lessons to my young ones.
For example: Advertising- I feel I need to talk to my daughters about the tricks of the ad agencies. We were listening to a song the other day and I thought 'when I hear this song it makes me feel sad. I must remember to talk to Princess about how music can effect the way we feel'.

Or another example is the way shop entice you to buy they products by the way they present their products. I remember walking into a petrol station having to buy my petrol and first I had to walk pass the magazine rack, then an ice-cream display (when on a hot day how easy would it be just to simply reach in and grab one without losing my place in the line) and then there is the ultimate test- all the chocolates and lollies. If I find this difficult to walk pass all these things how difficult in turn is it for a three year old to understand when all of these things are put WITHIN her reach then why can't she have them.

Life is full of trials and tests, I just pray that I can help to prepare my girls for these.
