"Mom, what's Easter about?" Bear asked me one day a few weeks ago, without so much as looking up from what he was doing.
"Wha...huh? Em...uh...well...that's a really good question, Bear," I stammered, totally taken aback and also really impressed.
The problem was that I had no idea how to answer that question. I mean, I knew what the answer was, I just wasn't sure how to share that information with Bear without traumatizing him. Although we're a Christian family, Bear's issues have pretty much prevented us from attending church on a regular basis...or a semi-regular basis...or at all...so he hasn't been exposed to the darker side of the Christian story. Sure, I talk to Bear about God, but it's more the warm and fuzzy stuff.
I could just see how this would go...
"Well, Bear, you see, a very long time ago, Jesus -- you remember me telling you about him, right? -- and you've learned about him at school, right? -- you know, Jesus? (insert French accent because Bear goes to a French school) -- well, he's God's son. And there were a bunch of really bad men who didn't like him, so they decided to punish him and kill him. What? How did they kill him? Um...well...it's not very nice, but back then they nailed people to a really big cross, and they died there. Oh, don't look like that, Bear! It's OK, cause God knew it was going to happen. In fact, He planned it. Why did He plan it? Um...well...that's another really good question. No, you're right, it doesn't sound very nice. No, it doesn't make him sound like a very good father. But back then people had to sacrifice a lamb to get God's forgiveness for their sins. What does sacrifice mean? Um...well...they took the lamb and..."
You get the point. I just didn't see this ending well. So I pretty much took the coward's way out.
"At Easter we celebrate God and Jesus," I told him. Short and sweet.
"Oh, like a birthday?" he asked.
"Nope, Christmas is Jesus' birthday. At Easter we just...um...celebrate them."
"Oh, OK."
Then it occurred to me that surely they're teaching him about Easter at school. It was the week before Easter and Bear goes to a Catholic school. Surely they've figured out how to talk to a 7 year old about Easter.
"What are they teaching you about Easter at school, Bud?" I asked.
"Huh?" he asked, looking up from his game. "Uh...um...I don't know," he said, looking back down.
Obviously they hadn't said anything too traumatizing, so I let the subject drop. OK, then...let's just leave it there and be happy we got off easy this time.
LOL! You could come to my church! We have lots of kids with issues, including mine. Pretty much anything goes at my church.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious about your experience in a French school. My son goes to public school, but in the French Immersion track. It's his last year of immersion and, looking back, one of the worst decisions I've ever made. What has your experience been.

The tough questions won't stop coming. I know... I have teenagers! ;) lol They're the questions we don't want to answer, or that don't have simple answers.
ReplyDeleteI know Bear is an active young boy who has an active imagination and who can run away with it at a mere suggestion. I also have triggers that can send me into a panic. Explaining Easter can be easy though.
As adults we know the gruesomeness of the story. It can be pretty horrific. As parents we need to explain the story without horrifying our children. When my girls were younger, I explained it to them simply. Easter is the celebration of Jesus not being dead anymore and that's very special. Because Jesus lived a very long time ago, you can let him believe he died of old age. If he asks more questions, you could talk in terms he'd understand - like bullies (pharisees & romans)and friends who were scared of the bullies.
No need to "bore" him with the details of the who did what, when, where and why of it. ;) You're right though... If he's going to a Catholic school, they'll give him the details there in terms that are at least age appropriate. He's likely even seen a crucifix or two, without realizing that it's related to Easter. All that you need to do is share with him what it means to you.
Hope that helps!
I am very grateful to Doctor Omoluyi for bringing back my Husband after 2 years of separation due to pressure from his family and business associate saying that i am not the same country and different believe.. This Joan Robert From Miami Florida. After enough searching and surfing on the internet, I saw a post made by Peter Dashy from Canada referring of how he was helped by Doctor Omoluyi. I also decided to contact the Doctor for help because i was desperate to get back my lovely Husband. I followed all his instructions and he promised me that my husband will get back to me within 12 to 18 hours after he has finished with the preparation of the spell. And now, am finally a complete woman with my man back by my side. To also get your help from this great Doctor Omoluyi, Email: ( Doctoromoluyispelltemple@gmail.com ).

An amazing testimony on a spell caster who brought my wife back to me..
ReplyDeleteI'm from CANADA, I'm happily married to a lovely and caring wife,with two kids A very big problem occurred in my family seven months ago,between me and my wife so terrible that she took the case to court for a divorce she said that she never wanted to stay with me again,and that she did not love me any more So she packed out of my house and made me and my children passed through severe pain. I tried all my possible means to get her back,after much begging,but all to no avail and she confirmed it that she has made her decision,and she never wanted to see me again. So on one evening,as i was coming back from work,i met an old friend of mine who asked of my wife So i explained every thing to her,so she told me that the only way i can get my wife back,is to visit a spell caster,because it has really worked for her too So i never believed in spell,but i had no other choice,than to follow her advice. Then she gave me the email address of the spell caster whom she visited.{driayaryi2012@hotmail.com}. So the next morning,i sent a mail to the address she gave to me,and the spell caster assured me that i will get my wife back the next day what an amazing statement!! I never believed,so he spoke with me,and told me everything that i need to do. Then the next 3 days, So surprisingly, my wife who did not call me for the past {5} months gave me a call to inform me that she was coming back So Amazing!! So that was how she came back that same day,with lots of love and joy,and she apologized for her mistake,and for the pain she caused me and my children. Then from that day,our relationship was now stronger than how it were before,by the help of a spell caster . So, i will advice you out there to kindly visit the same website {driayaryi2012@hotmail.com},if you are in any condition like this,or you have any problem related to "bringing your ex back. So thanks to the Dr Iyaryi for bringing back my wife,and brought great joy to my family once again.{driayaryi2012@hotmail.com} And also Reach him on WhatsApp Number: +2349057915709 Thanks Dr. IyaryI
