What is the right age to teach your kids why you really hate Nazis?

[CunningCanuk]

I have consulted the museum's website. Their recommendations are well thought out. The age they give is 8 with a parent. I am perhaps rushing it a bit.

I think it’s awesome that you are teaching your daughter these things, we’ve done the same with ours. Like your daughter, our daughter is very intelligent and at 13, has more insight on most subjects than I do.

I didn’t mean to imply you should shelter her. I meant to note that violent visual stimulation can be traumatic for an intelligent and sensitive young mind.

And in my defense, I think a lot of people underestimate the capabilities and intelligence of a nearly seven year old. I am surprised by her daily.

The ‘30s did it for me. I like orchestras.

I was 5 or 6 when I started to dig through my parents WW2 books growing up in Germany. When we were posted back to Canada they had to leave a number of them behind because they were banned, but I think some of the horror pics and scenes that I saw solidified my own understanding of right and wrong very early on. Along of course with the guidance of my parents and the memory of the wonderful and very generous people in Germany.

The thing that REALLY scared the shit out of me was the Fasching Parade where the Witch's would snatch the kids from the street and put them in wooden jail carts if they didn't have a ward around their neck. They came after me and I screamed my head off and hung onto a sign post so they couldn't take me lol. Everyone around, but me, was laughing their heads off.

This looks like one of the nice ones.

She'll love the Udvar-Hazy. She has the soul of an explorer and loves the many globes of earth and other planets in our home. She hopes to travel the universe when she grows up and bring together different life forms she finds.

It was built shortly after I left DC so I have not seen it yet either.

As a student, I spent a great deal of time in various Smithsonians always thankful for the gift to this country that James Smithson left us. His gift filled me with inspiration and inspired me to seek knowledge.

To quote Bunnydrums, "not till now did I understand" Though they wrote it about Robert Smithson, I didn't know it at the time.

I dated a teacher from NZ long ago and we were out having dinner when the child, (about 5yrs) in the next booth over decided to throw a hissy fit. He screamed "I hate you!" to his mother.
Colleen got up from her seat, turned to the boy looked him in the eye and said, "you're too young to hate."

The kid shut up.

So I looked into the Smithsonian Museum of American History. The first picture I saw was the sign commemorating Emmett Till's lynching. It was removed from the site in 2019 after some of the fine people on both sides riddled it with bullets.



Words fail me.

We are headed to DC in a couple of weeks and I have been thinking a lot about what to show my six year old. Is she too young to take her to the Holocaust Museum? I've been thinking a lot about this lately. Earlier this month I showed her videos of 9/11 including people jumping to their death to avoid the fire for the first time and it made quite an impression on her.

The holocaust isn't something I really wanted fully immerse my child in at this age but, considering the rise of Nazism and Naziism-lite here and around the world, I think the time has arrived. Its never to soon to start hating Nazis after all.

Anybody wanna weigh in on this - even you Nazi bitch-boys?

I am kind of worried about making this a real downer trip as our first must see is the Enola Gay. However, I feel that showing my kid around my school and other things in DC that have positive memories and context for me might balance it out.

WAY TOO YOUNG.... wtf! I would wait til they are 13 or til they are asking about something like that themselves.

No need to teach tour kids HATE from an early age. No wonder the USA is so fucked up!

Let me get you up to speed... I intend to teach my child about hate. She has already been the target of it. I will be doing that before age 13. It is a relevant to her life and our nation's political climate. I am curious, what country do you live in?

The fact that you consider my actions fucked up after my last post and the picture in it is rather telling.

Maybe the assholes in that picture would have had better sense if they had better parents.

Thanks. It's good to be welcomed.

Do you suppose that far off long ago Wendy's will welcome you back and rehire you ? I mean you can't be planning on living on government welfare forever and flipping burgers is part of your skill set.

Sounds legit.
