Today's 'Song To Chew' is NEVER SPEAK WITH YOUR MOUTH FULL!  It seems like a 'fun little song', but it opens doors to deeper topics like, 'Where do our rules come from?' and 'How do they become laws?'  Kids deal with 'grown-up rules' all the time.  We teach children rules, so they'll learn to be socially responsible adults; people who care about other people.  Adults who sing this song with their kids send the message, “We can play and be silly, and still be caring and polite to each other at the same time!"  I think that’s a wiser, healthier, message than, “follow the rules no matter what!”  When I need to speak up about something that's "not okay" with me, I need to do it in a way that will 'get through' to another person. It's not going to resolve anything if that other person feels like they're being attacked!   So we really need to be careful about how we do that.  And practicing that, ... starts with me!
