Do you think you should protect your kids from the news and what is going on in the world?
Now there are some things I don't openly say to Shannon. But this last week she has picked things up from the news etc.
Such as Madeleine, the girl who was taken. When I asked her what she knew about it, she said her parents were wrong for leaving her in the room alone and that someone has taken her and is looking after her. The thought that anything bad has happened didn't even cross her mind.
Then there is plane that was hi-jacked. She heard about this...now this is one thing I didn't want her hearing about as I don't want it to affect her when she flys.
Do you think kids should know the truth about what's going on in the world? Should they know parts of what is happening or nothing at all?
