Enough said.
> "Instead of blocking terms like LGBT and intercourse, Kiddle would be much better to help educate kids in an age-appropriate manner about these things, not adding to the stigma."
If you have installed a block for kids... I should hope that it blocks the word "Intercourse"? Is this guy serious?
- tresni 11y agoI have kids, 4 of them actually and I must say I agree with the author. The problem with the Kiddle approach is that it doesn't help kids when they need it. Additionally, telling them it's a "bad word" doesn't encourage them to talk to their parents about it, but may have the exact opposite effect. A better approach would be curated results for these terms vs no results. Or maybe a banner that says "This is a great topic to talk to your parents about." Who knows, may actually work. Probably not thought...
- gamechangr 11y agoI have kids as well, 3 of them actually. I appreciated your response. I get the idea of the "better approach" and I liked that you admitted on the front side that .." who knows, may actually work. Probably not though...". I don't think that's what the author had in mind ("talk to your parents"). That wouldn't be that bad. What's scary is when adults outsource their parenting role.
