Well of course we want to protect our kids from the horrible parts of life. However my DS therapist (he was 5) told me I had to explain things to him like an adult and to get out the dictionary and get out the encyclopedia to explain stuff to him. She said it will cause him more anxiety to ignore it or gloss over it. If your child is smart they will figure it out anyway or they will hear it from others. She said we should use the scientific method w/our DS. I admit do I really do that, eh not as much as I should.
