Her opinion would be based mainly on her education. I'm not offended, just thought that you might want a professional perspective. I pretty much already know what she would say anyway, "let kids be kids as long as possible, you can't give them back their childhood later".
They're there. They are just still hiding. They're everywhere - just in varying degrees.
I do not think I have treated you this way. I certainly did not intend to. If I have disrespected you, it was not intentional.
That is something that I would not have considered and can see how powerful that would be, and how fewer and fewer opportunities that there would be to experience that.
You are right, it is not my fault that was the one museum that was in driving range that our schools would have a field trip cheap enough that I would be able to go to every year.
This makes me think about all the nonsense about wearing a mask being just like the holocaust comparisons being made by the anti-vaccine crowd right now. Not that she would need to know about the horrors of it to be safe, but the hypocrisy of anyone making those statements would become very obvious.
Bingo. I know I would have been able to handle it, and gotten a lot from it at 6. Not everyone is able to stay in their nice little bubble and stay blissfully unaware of the dangers in our society from the people that would prey on them.
It's true, they are everywhere unfortunately.

I would not take her to a gay pride parade. Been to quite a few. Seen some really, really adult stuff.It's true, they are everywhere unfortunately.
This happened around here a few weeks ago:
Neo-Nazi flyers left on Aptos porches in the middle of the night
Some Aptos neighborhood residents received quite a shock earlier in the week after someone distributed neo-Nazi flyers to their doorsteps.
Outside of that however there is a lot of openness in the LGBTQ community. Heck my mom took me to some of the first gay pride parades in Santa Cruz and San Francisco way back in the late 70's, and they are still going strong today.
That was back in the day, before corporate sponsors.
Yeah, they have certainly progressed over the years. The early ones in Santa Cruz were much more mild. I agree that the ones in San Francisco can be out of control, and not appropriate for young kids.I would not take her to a gay pride parade. Been to quite a few. Seen some really, really adult stuff.
OK. This is America.
I absolutely love this so I'm quoting it.
In the mid 70s I knew someone who went to a German school here. Teachers rotated through from the Federal Republic. He told me that grades 10 through 13 history class contained much hand wringing analysis of how it came to be.
Museum Sunday was a tradition my sibs and I loved.What?? You're taking your kid on a long trip, and you're gonna make her stand in a museum?
Mean Daddy!
I think that she will treasure the memory of being taken as seriously as an adult, and that will imo eclipse the awfulness of the topic.
There is a vast difference between teaching a German child of that Era and an American child about the Holocaust. We all share guilt for allowing atrocities to occur - yet I feel that burden would likely be much greater for a German child and understand how introducing them to the full horror of it at this age might be unwarranted.
We did worse to civilians with conventional incendiaries. Hamburg, Dresden, Tokyo.
I was both. Born here but first-generation German. Veritas vos liberabit. I support reading her in.
Excellent questions.
