The world is not ideal, and the only weapon we can give our children is information. Information which is not pretty, but honest.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I am afraid we must make the world honest before we can honestly say to our children that honesty is the best policy.
Children take in more information than we'd like to believe.
We owe it to our children to be honest about the world and to provide them with material written specially for them.
By what you do, you teach your children how to respond to difficult information.
There's something missing about how we're informing the youngsters coming along about what matters in the world. We teach them the numbers and the letters, but we fail to communicate the importance of our connection to the living world.
The most interesting information comes from children, for they tell all they know and then stop.
To make your children capable of honesty is the beginning of education.
There is so much potential out there in young people and they aren't getting the right information or being encouraged in the right ways. This is our duty as a society.
I think that good parenting should allow children to be children. That naivety and slightly open way of looking at the world is very valuable.
We always like to keep our children in a kind of bubble and censor the bad news about the world. We like to tell them the world is full of benevolent, nice people.
