I agree with you Todd in a sense but when the subject is not in their life experience is it not better to not expose them to it. There are many diseases and conditions and what if all used the same approach. Is this not detrimental to their sense of security in their own lives to come.

Don't you think that a child can know so much and assimilate that knowledge as a possibility and not seen it as a probability or vise versa. who will be around then when they need clarification that it is not a portent for them.

Kids are smart but kids are pliable and can go in directions that can not be fortold.

Or am I wrong.
