Howdy from Manila

howdy everyone. looking at the google map in the sticky, makes me think i am the second filipino to register. but then again, some filipinos may have had the same predicament as mine of not knowing how to mark my location in the map.

Hi!

[Tank]

how to bring up my 5 year-old daughter without introducing religion except that it is what other people in our neighborhood do or have or whatever.

thanks!  

Welcome.

I have 3 grown up children. Both I and my wife are atheists. We simply told our children what was right and wrong based on how they would like to be treated. We did not teach them about religion. Living in the UK this was an easy method as religion is not usually something children worry about. I wish you luck with your daughter.

Hi Wildfire! Welcome to the forum!

Welcome to the forum!  I have a six year old and am trying my best to raise him to make up his own mind about belief.  If he asks me questions, I answer them honestly, and I emphasize that beliefs are personal and it's up to each individual to decide what their beliefs are.  It's hard sometimes, especially if there are social pressures toward beliefs that I personally disagree with, but we all just do our best, right?  I hope you like it here!
