Isn't that a strong argument to be open and honest when discussing it?
- ChuckMcM 12y agoYes, but you can't control how open and honest all conversations can be. In the article her son has clearly engaged with everyone like he engages with his mother, and that has been surprising to some folks, and it will be damaging to some folks if he keeps it up. What is worse is he won't understand the damage initially.
- LyndsySimon 12y agoNo, I can't control those conversations. I also don't see it as reasonable to limit my child's knowledge on a subject merely because someone else might make an opposing decision and take offense. Kids are going to be frank when talking about any topic amongst themselves. I would rather my child be overheard telling a peer about how babies are made and how STDs are passed, than have her believe that douching with Coca-Cola after sex will prevent pregnancy. I also strongly disagree that speaking truth in such discussions can ever be "damaging". Can you provide an example?
