The tween is discovering a sense of social justice and how steeped in unfairness we are towards our fellow humans because of our own beliefs, values and assumptions.
She has much to say about gender stereotyping, racism, classism, homophobia, homosexuality, gender neutrality, white privilege, Mormonism etc etc.
She reads a lot of stuff on Tumblr and brings them up for random discussions around the dinner table.
I try to keep up, but some days I feel like a hamster that has fallen off the treadmill.
Thank God it is not I who ultimately determine her outcomes. God is Her Maker, and He knows the plans He has for her.
My job is to guide her into a right relationship with Him so that she will turn to Him as her Lord and Saviour and lean on Him for wisdom and discernment in all things.
In the meantime, I had best do some research on all the topics she has mentioned...
