WHAT IF WE DIDN'T POISON CHILDREN'S MINDS WITH FANTASY? (page 14)

Yes, this is an interesting topic. So far, it appears that

1. childhood fantasy life, encouraged by parents/teachers teaches children to later on discern bs from reality. On the other hand,

2. children that had their fantasy lives shattered/crushed, later on get into conspiracy theories. Do they tend towards cynicism as well? What kind of fantasy lives did adults have who blithely go along w whatever is the prevailing weather, socially speaking?

Thanks for the jello. Got some whipped cream?

In dealing w my own stuff, i ask why. Secondly, if it's determined that fantasy or nonfantasy is healthy or harmful, it would help parents to raise healthier kids. Healthier (emotionally) kids equals better nieghborhoods, and so on.

I didn't read this whole thread, please pardon me if my post is redundant.

Let kids be kids and don't expect them to be little adults. Besides, even adults need an escape sometimes. Kids deserve to have some magic mixed in with reality. What is childhood about if it's not, at least in part, a bit of magic?

I have never lied to my children, nor would I. If you really want to know my thoughts about this particular subject, read the first post in response to Terry's question.
