And by assuming that children can not deal with higher reasons we rob them of instructing them with them. The cost outweighs the benefit.


Absolutely! I try to answer the “why” question as often as possible. There are very few absolutes where I ask my kids to believe “simply because” and hopefully my track record with them is good enough they have some level of trust with me on the questions I don’t have a ready answer to. There are always going to be articles of faith in any belief system but fear of judgement and appeal to authority are not a strong bulwork like trust.
