Yet another thing I've seen in parenting groups that weirds me the fuck out
Liberal, sex positive parents who teach their kids the correct words for parts, don't shame them for curiousity, and respect their ability to understand things- BUT when it comes to weapons, killing, or any type of death, they're immediately helpless pearl clutchers talking about trauma and teaching aggression
AND THEN they also cry bc they don't know how to fear-monger to their young children about school shootings when they've carefully ensured the child has never been exposed to the concept of death and has no idea what a gun is
Either your kid can understand difficult topics or they can't. And either your kid needs to know what violence and death are or they don't.
Make it make sense
