Always have. As they've grown, I explain a bit more. I tell my daughter that some kids may ask her why she is wearing a 'boy shirt' but she should just tell the person that she 'likes dragons and that her big brother gave it to her', or, I have talked with my son about his long hair... some people think boys should have short hair. Brian doesn't need me telling him anything though. "I know mom, I don't care. It's my hair." <BR/><BR/>They watch a ton of videos, but not TV. Currently they are both very much into Superheros - esp. Teen Titans. They aren't learning to be violent, they know it is 'just a show'. But they enjoy the stories with the classic 'good guy, bad guy' plots. Nothing bad about learning right and wrong from comics. Funny as heck to see Honor running around in cape and hood pretending to be Raven with 4 or 5 baby dolls representing the rest of the team... I like things that stimulate their imagination.<BR/><BR/>We deal with scary things (like shots) by being honest and truthful about it - you might get a shot today, this one might sting, etc. We talk about ornery peers and other social troubles. Sure, kids have to learn to sort things out - but there's no reason they cannot do so with help.<BR/><BR/>The innocence of your 'baby' might fade, but your closeness and attachment parenting style is sure to keep him sweet and self-confident!Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667481504650498976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4906326566013649084.post-55007170239117351822008-10-20T14:22:00.000-07:002008-10-20T14:22:00.000-07:00This is so precious!
