A child's innocence is magical and beautiful. My children's innocent ways help me live young at heart and see good in the world. I know as they get older, they will lose their innocent ways, but I wish I could bottle it up.
Caden was talking to me about Bragen, Sarah and a mean boy. The girls don't like the boy because he chased them and then they chased the boy. This was a serious story he shared with me. I wish this would be the most serious event he would experience in life. Unrealistic, yes, I know.
Rob and I don't always agree on everything, but we do agree on never talking about adult life around the kids. We don't talk about the news, money, relationship issues, etc. This could most definitely be too sheltering to some parents. You can teach your children about money without worrying them about bills. You can teach your children about "stranger danger" without letting them hear about the little girl that was raped and killed. Our approach is to let them be little. They have the rest of their life to worry. Preserve that innocence.
