The Revenge of the Cradle - Amish Style

From a small fringe community, the Amish have skyrocketed their number, due to two factors:

• Large birth rate - far greater than the average American family
• 90% retention of their children into the Amish community when adult

This represents an alternative pathway for Conservatives/Traditional Families:

• Keep their schooling influences within your faith/philosophical traditions. Either send them to traditional school settings, home-school/virtual school, or work to provide oversight of the curriculum they are exposed to.
• Primarily socialize within known influences/families. Limit electronic media - TV, internet, music, etc.
• Joyfully embrace your family, no matter how large it becomes. Encourage all your children to plan for a family-centered life, and teach/train them in useful home and work skills.
