Oddbean new post about login | logout It’s an X rated world we live in and you will never be able to keep your kids (me too with mine) from exposure to it and from the rest of life that exposes them to it. All you can do is talk to them about it. Lead by your example. For instance, don’t watch porn yourself while you tell them how bad it is for them. It wouldn’t serve anyone in the situation very well if they came in and saw you watching porn. By no means am I saying you watch porn here, just using it as an example. Another example would be if you tell your kids they can call you to pick them up from a party because they were to drunk to drive and there would be no questions asked and then you ground them for being drunk.
Totally agree! That relationship and openness starts when they’re little. A child who got a strip tore off them the night before for being home five minutes late, likely isn’t going to call that parent if they are in trouble, need a ride, et al.
What you described is just bad parenting, nothing to do with how crazy the world is. It is true that as parents we have little influence on our kids as they absorb much of it from school and the environment, we have the ability to control what school they go to and what environment they get exposed to though.
The ability and responsibility. I do think it’s impossible to control their environment exposure 100% of the time, but it’s definitely more so than when it’s left in the hands of others!
