There's no indication that Inuit children become irrationally scared of the ocean because of the sea monster story they're told.

  Then maybe they are at least partly aware, that it is mythology and not real.

    Where does "making up stories" end and "mythology" start?
    • hutzlibu 6y ago
      Both is the same. What matters is the intention. I will tell my boy stories about christmas and fairies, but I will not tell him santa exists as a real person.

        Okay, so you just straight up lie to your children about fairies.
        • hutzlibu 6y ago
          Huh? I tell stories. I neither say, the exist or not. It is fantasy.
