Dear Supportive Mother,

Children usually do not choose the circumstances of their birth but are assigned to a family. If it is to an ECK family, they are very fortunate. It means they have earned that right.

Guide them gently when they are obedient. They need spiritual and societal training to become balanced spiritual beings and good citizens.

Yet if they ignore your guidance, be firm and insist on doing it your way. You’re the adult. I hope this helps you.
