[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She's 6. It's time to introduce the topic.

And remember, it traumatized you far more because you were alive. Your child will have as much connection to it as you do to WW2.[/quote]

OP here, very true and good point.

For those saying she will learn about it in school ... of course ... but not in kindergarten, right? Or even 1st grade? I was thinking that was more a 3rd grade thing. She and I did have a good conversation about it after she asked me to change the channel, so I'm not upset that she knows, I just thought maybe we had another year or so. Also, she's just a bit of an anxious kid and the pandemic has been plenty for her without talking about global terrorism. [/quote]

Definitely taught in K. My 2 youngest (born in 2006) were in private (girl) and public (boy) K and learned about it there.[/quote]

I used to teach K.  I've had kid build two towers of blocks int eh block corner and throw pencils at them till they fall down.

Your kid needs to hear about it from you before they start school. Same with slavery and sex.  These are not things you set up your kid to learn from strangers where you have no control.  [/quote]
