There is no Santa Claus, you won't always want your stuffed kitty to sleep with, people and animals don't live forever -- I don't want to be the bearer of any of that news. Of course we do tell them what they need to know, at age appropriate levels. Part of growing up, right? It's just painful to burst a child's bubble of hope and joy.Mellie Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09226709287277760881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1108579867872012592005-02-16T13:51:00.000-05:002005-02-16T13:51:00.000-05:00Because we already know too much?Because we already know too much?DeAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06419786015537968844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1108494797511680632005-02-15T14:13:00.000-05:002005-02-15T14:13:00.000-05:00As parents it is our job to impart to our children...As parents it is our job to impart to our children the ways of the world, even the parts that will break their hearts. It's so hard for me to have to teach my kids something that I know will take a small piece of their innocence away. But it does help when they let us know they understand, and accept that even though it isn't what they want, it is the way it is. <br /><br />*sigh* Very nice post!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13501710690472006659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1108483883400464712005-02-15T11:11:00.000-05:002005-02-15T11:11:00.000-05:00Beautifully said.
