Don’t Expose Kids to Inappropriate Things; That Includes Politics

Children are exposed to endless amounts of information in today’s world. As parents, it’s our responsibility to shield our kids from inappropriate material or too-adult of discussions until they’re ready for it. The parents’ job is to censor the information their kids receive in an age-appropriate manner. That is why you don’t give your eight-year-old son a smart phone where he can accidentally or purposely find all kinds of x-rated material and you don’t allow your nine-year-old daughter to watch – and then be enticed to imitate – so-called dirty-dancing and twerking. Since kids are sponges who hear, see, and then repeat all they absorb, parents need to keep these sponges dry as long as possible.

While parents can’t control what their children hear from peers at school, they can make sure their kids aren’t enrolled in an atheistic, woke-embracing school (i.e., most public school districts) but are at either a solid Christian school or homeschooled. This will lessen the chance of the youngsters being indoctrinated with the culture’s debauchery. Parents also can control how much media their children take in – be it social media online or corporate media on the TV and radio. This includes not having the news or political talk shows playing on the television set when their young kids are in the room or on the radio when their kids are in the car.

Eventually, all boys and girls should learn about how the political system works, about voting and elections, and about government officials, agencies, and overreach. But this should not begin any earlier than when kids are in middle school. Exposing children to the country’s politics at young ages sets them up for early-onset anxiety, worrying about things out of their control.
