While discussing the topic of deception with Shannon it was interesting to compare boy stories. Our topic went off on several bunny trails as we both talked about deception. How the lies our parents told us as children and also how we are passing those same lies on to our own children. We spent a while talking about how once our children get older it will be harder to lie to them, but at the same time it will be harder to tell them the truth as well. Growing up when we were younger it was much easier to stay innocent, naive and protected longer. Today, it is up to us as the parents to constantly monitor, filter and block inappropriate information from our children. This class has brought a lot to my attention as a mother of a four year old.
