Each one of us has to take responsibility for reality, and present it so that kids will grow up familiar with that and say, OK. I've seen that before. I'm not afraid of it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't want to shield kids from reality.
I think what's at risk is kids losing touch with being a kid. Being a kid is being defined differently than it was when you didn't have all this stuff you could put in front of your face.
There are certain realities we must speak of with our children that were not present when I was a child.
When I think about it, I do start to worry about this whole social media thing. It does make me uncomfortable; kids should be out, living their lives, getting out and enjoying themselves.
Kids love to be scared - there's way to do it right, and ways to do it wrong.
I just don't think that a lot of the time the messages we send kids prepare them for real life.
You know how it's almost impossible for kids to not say what they think? That's me. I have to make the conscious effort to be situationally appropriate.
We sort of have given up on the idea of taking any sort of personal responsibility for what we see. I don't understand it at all. There are many things that I won't let my kids watch.
I think the main thing for kids is to have them believe in themselves.
I think you realise how terrifying and scary the world is when you're bringing kids into it.
