Well yes, terrible things can happen at any age. Even as an adult you are not safe in this world. But we cannot live in fear either. This is why it's important to be educated about the world.
This would be very off topic, but would any of ye consider putting tracker's on your kids, so you'd have more piece of mind?
Parenting isn’t a science. It’s more like a series of educated guesses. And everyone’s risk quotient is varied. Personally, no, I wouldn’t have kids playing unsupervised on the streets based on my risk perception now, but maybe in the future that might change. It’s not living in fear, it’s just what I am okay with vs not. And I would also remove the foxglove if I saw it, just like how I’d keep the bottle of bleach out of reach.
But I’m not sure about trackers. I would rather hammer “stranger danger” home.
I know I’m late to this but I was just recommended to watch Eduardo’s “trans story” from a week ago and I was curious to see what the comments were like and man was I pleasantly surprised that like all of them are calling Jonathan out. Not to mention the video hasn’t even hit 75k views yet. Jonathan people are tired of your tit!
Same. The father is the most disturbing. The self indulgence is shockingly gross and it’s being passed down. There is so much focus on hair, make up and clothes for a child. So that’s what she grows up putting value on. Which means all she’s learning is materialism and being obsessed with her appearance. Because apparently that is what being a girl means. Great work mom and dad. Barf.
Now perhaps they aren’t showing her going to football, dance, drama, art and swimming lessons …the stuff that really helps shape children’s (and adult’s!) interests and broadens horizons. I wish they would show that stuff more because the lemmings following them are just enabling and promoting this self obsessive upbringing.
