The Shocking Truth About What Parents Are Unknowingly Teaching Their Kids—And Why It Must Stop Now
“As for whether or not your fishing will lead you to disinformation rather than the truth, try not to fish blindly. If you’re curious about crime stats, for instance, look these up on a government website, not some random blog,” she explained. Checking websites like Snopes to see if some shocking stories are real or not is a good move.
Children do learn about [intimacy] at a young age, it just isn’t usually in a productive way. I know I did. My own experience: questions like this are why I believe in being infinitely clear with my kids….”you are going to hear total [nonsense] from other kids. If you hear something you don’t understand, come talk to me. You can ask me anything and expect a decent answer.” And I would give examples of the total [nonsense] I had heard as a kid, most of which would result in pregnancy. Son, age 6. Daughter, age 7. Riding home from school: daughter says “Tiffany said she had [intimacy] with my brother.” Which left me a grand total of 3 minutes to gather my wits before we got home. OK, do you guys know what [intimacy] is? Blank looks. [intimacy] is when you take off all of your clothes and rub privates together. You can make babies that way. Looks of shock and disgust. Do you think your brother had [intimacy] with Tiffany? Nooo! I think she was using a really bad way of trying to say she likes him, and maybe she watches the wrong TV shows where if people like each other they always have [intimacy]. Were my kids really ready for a [intimacy] talk? No, not really. They didn’t care. Did we really need to have one about then? Yep. My job as a parent is to be there to put things that come up in context for them, not run around after them deciding what and when they need to know things.
