ConcernBy Beata Semar on Monday, November 28, 2011 That they will not have the same worry free childhood we had growing up. |
"A Simpler Start"By Jaime Doud on Monday, November 28, 2011 My son has gone through a lo tin his first 3 years. Nothing horrible, but a lot of challenges, from a difficult birth and first two weeks in NICU to DT, ST, & OT. My wish right now is that his little sister (due in September) has a less eventful start to life! |
My little girlBy Jennifer Gensch on Monday, November 28, 2011 I want my little girl and her big brother to be both happy and healthy, but what I want most is for them to be able to deal with whatever comes into their lives with emotional stability. I've had a rough life myself and so have their older brothers and sister and these two deserve everything so they can give back to the world as well. |
Baby's FutureBy Rubina on Monday, November 28, 2011 My biggest concern is her safety (mental, physical and emotional) The more companies get away from providing a good product and start looking how to do things for cheaper, we introduce more toxins into our systems. This applies to everything from food, toys, and medicines. It’s a scary world out there for a parent. We think we are providing the best for our child’s development, the next day there is a recall on the item. Our Kids are our future, if we can’t keep them safe, then what chance does our future have? |
Our present affects their futureBy Deanna P. on Monday, November 28, 2011 Every action we make has the ability to make a positive effect on our children's future. I fear that we are not taking our actions seriously and our children and our earth will pay for it. |
Baby's FutureBy Renee on Monday, November 28, 2011 I don't like all the additives and preservatives in all the foods. Furthermore, toys and baby bottles with lead and plastic contents. Each time I took a baby for their "shots"(immunizations), it seemed as if our government added another one! Are we 'preserving' are babies , too? |
MrsBy Monica Talbot-Bowe on Monday, November 28, 2011 My biggest concern is that I raise my baby girl to love life and love the people around her and to be accepting of others. |
"My little one's future"By Yesel on Monday, November 28, 2011 Our biggest concern was just the future itself because our son as Autism. But then we realized hey all parents have to worry about it because no one knows what the future holds. So know my concern is that he get a chance to do what he loves. He wants to be a tornado chaser... |
"My Biggest Concern for My Sons Future"By Rosie on Monday, November 28, 2011 I am a 36 year old single mom and my son is a little over 9 months old.

I'm a very good mother and know I will do my all but I fear that they may never be enough to fill in the void that every child feels when one parent is missing from the picture. |

our children's futureBy Sarah Carlyle on Monday, November 28, 2011 My biggest concern is their influences in the community.

concerns
By gail on Monday, November 28, 2011
My biggest concern is that our world won't be safe enough, clean enough, or healthly enough for my children and others to thrive in. Everything that happens today from wars to oil spills impacks our childrens lives, and future generations to come.
