Kids Don’t Think Congress Has Their Best Interests In Mind With Their Grandstanding ‘Protect The Children’ Hearing::We’ve covered a few stories this week related to the Senate hearing on “kids safety” and there’s going to be a lot more in the coming weeks as those same Senators grandstand and yell about “protect the children!” and generally make fools of themselves. I think Casey Newton’s summary of the spectacle is about right:…
Unless your children are under 2, you are doing them an enormous disservice by dismissing their views on the world like this. Children understand a lot more than you think and you can have wonderfull conversations on meaningfully subjects with kids under 10 even… above 10 they will even amaze you more.
