tell the truth?
this article is the this i beileve piece that we discussed in class this week. it is called “Telling Kids the Whole Truth.” in it the woman describes how she believes that children have the right to know the truth about almost everything. if adults expect kids to tell the truth then they should do the same. she tells the story of when she told her 6 year old son what a condom was and what it was used for. SHe says that telling kids the truth will make for a better relationship between them and the parents, it will build more trust.
i completely disagree with what this woman has to say. sure i think that kids should know the truth to some extent but telling them things like what a condom is if a little overboard. i think that parents should in some way screen what their children are told and what they hear.
