SwiftOnSecurityTelling children they are living in a dying world is an essential evil we don’t really have terminology for. Children cannot fix your sins through shame and abortion of hope. You are the villain in their story, not their savior - peddling nothing actualizing change, only dred.
ErsatzLogic@SwiftOnSecurity On one hand, yeah to a point. On the other hand at least in the US my kid has been doing active shooter drills since preschool.
So, I don’t think they need me to tell them the way the world is. I just honestly answer as best I can about what can be done, what isn’t being done, etc. But you are right that a parent shouldn’t be further pounding home the terror any more than they need to keep their kid immediately safe. Kids have eyes and ears and brains enough to see a lot of it on their own.
