re: #166 iceweasel

Do you even think it’s unsuitable for kids of a younger age though?

I understand that, since I’m not a parent, there is a certain realm of experience that I lack, but my philosophy is to let kids read anything and everything they want. I think it’s a good thing.

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. Ideally, the parents should take primary responsibility for ensuring that their child(ren) are safe and healthy. Unfortunately, there are parents who aren’t responsible in that regard.
