because I have a ten year old I am raising.

I always told my kids when they were this age to be part of the solution. Not the problem. I don't really know what good I did, but it was what I needed to do.
My son once said, in his early twenties, " I always thought the world cared. They don't."
I have no idea how I played into this, but what is done is done.
(I am of the mindset, similar to Star Trek's prime directive.) If I was asked, I offered my perspective, but otherwise, I felt I let them figure it out. I did not want to influence them in my way of thinking. Our lifestyle, my sense of fair play, my need for justice, picking your battles, critical thinking and the Golden Rule spoke volumes in my household, and a word might not pass my lips one way or another. I walked my talk. With every thing I had. I am approaching things differently with my granddaughter, because it feels right. I gauge her ability to understand and her mindset at the time of offering up observations I have about *things*. Her quiet times in the car are the best times to do this, and I know when I am losing her attention. I turn on her favorite music and hope one morsel sinks in.
She doesn't understand about government. She doesn't have a clue about corruption, wealth, power... She barely knows what gay means and money is for grown ups.
For all I know from where I sit, is that I must raise this remarkable joy in my life how not to be a victim. How this will play out is anybody's guess...but this is all I know. I walk my talk.
