[quote=Anonymous]I agree that we have lots of new information to better protect our kids. However I think the take away, is it might be helpful to be aware that all this information can tend to make kids feel globally unsafe and create a loss of innocence. I think it is important to teach kids about things that could potentially cause them harm without making them neurotic. When I grew up I remember duck and cover from a potential atom bomb. However, there is a lot more to be fearful of today. I think one of the things that would be very helpful is to let kids have downtime in their homes (a safe place) and just let them play. Our philosophy on sibling fighting was don't interfere unless you see blood (a bit extreme, but you get the point, I hope!). Limit you kids exposure to competitive events (another way to instill fear). It's your job to find a way for them to be kids. Being neurotic, angry, insecure kids is toxic! And we wonder why we have a bullying problem.[/quote]
