As a parent, I have made it a point to be open and as blatantly honest with my kid about most things in life. Like, scary movies for instance... early in his life, I had explained to my like-minded child, that the images in the scenes we were watching, are a performance for entertainment. I would explain the process of making and using fake blood, the sound effects used for monster noises, and pretty much any other special effect I could find the words to break down to a 4 year old. An introduction stage if you will, attempting to explain the process of creating art. To this day, he has yet to watch a movie that spooks him beyond his emotional capacity. It has been a controversial method, as I have come to experience. Perhaps, I may be a little too loose lipped when explaining worldly things to my young son however, with the information accessibility our youth are privy to today, I hardly see the sense in hiding any "taboo" subjects. Let's face it, the more someone tries to keep things from us, especially, when we will eventually have unsupervised access, the more we must know and we will find. I figure, my son would be better off having some understanding of the pros and cons of having inappropriate material inside his mind. In other words... I unabashedly, explain the consequences of pre-mature data intake in as many ways as possible. At least, with my perceived understanding of such things... Kids are smart. Many times, much smarter than we think. They also value being addressed as an intellectual in conversations with adults. I believe a highly effective way of capturing such a young hyperactive mind is to speak candidly. Telling them the absolute truth. Life can get dark. Information is light. And, you should never stare directly into the sun. Learn to protect yourself from things no one should see. At least, that's my version of it. Thanks for listening!
