The news about terrorism, wars and natural disasters invade the television channels and the conversations of the population, and it is not always possible to prevent the little ones from listening to certain subjects that I wish they never had to know. In addition, the curiosity and interest of knowing more about children, it seems that he is increasingly horny and appears at an earlier age, even when they seem to be immersed in their games, after a few minutes and even hours, they appear with questions about a subject who have heard about and leave us speechless.
Within the recommendations of the experts, It is essential to preserve the innocence of children at least up to 5 years. So, as difficult as it may seem to us, parents should get answers with data that are appropriate to their age, their understanding and their intellectual capacity. In the future you will enter details of the issues that concern you, but for now, without lies, or keeping silent, we must satisfy your curiosity. We live in a world where there are many negative things and you have to touch them with a lot of tact whenever there are children present. It is also necessary to know the activities and “debates” that they carry out in the school, coordinate the information they receive from the teachers with whom we give them.
It is always good to prevent so that our little one is not ahead of time with images or with the knowledge of issues that can traumatize him because of his immaturity. Television is a constant bomb of violent news that we must keep away from it.
If children see a natural catastrophe, they may think that it can happen to them, if they see the results of an attack in the subway of their city, they may feel terror because it can happen to them, if they witness through the television the images that it gives off a war, fear can invade them, because they think it can happen to them.
Our role as parents also implies giving them security and confidence in their well-being, providing answers to their questions that relieve them of their worries with reassuring words, momentarily moving them away from the events that have occurred, even seeking activities that presume to help those who have suffered them. Our job as parents is to preserve their innocence and allow them to remain children.
