re: #198 Danny

I’ve only raised one child to adulthood but I think that “age-appropriate” varies widely depending on each individual child’s emotional/psychological development and capacity to digest and understand certain things, as well as on the parents’ ability to support the healthy development of the child. Imparting knowledge to a child is essential, but it’s definitely possible to expose children to inappropriate knowledge that can harm the child’s sense of well-being.

Thank you for a thoughtful, articulate response. This seems right to me— what’s appropriate will vary according to the individual child’s capacities.

Even so, I tend to err on the side of letting them read everything, but obviously that’s not an option in some cases (unfortunately).
