 * What are your views about shielding children from unpleasant truths? When is it important for a child to know such truths? When is it better to keep a child in the dark? And, is it right for an adult to lie to a child to "protect" him or her?

I think you should not shield children from the truth because they are going to have to learn it sometime. I think the child should know most things, especially if endangers them. I do not think the kids should know it about from the very beginning but once they are able to know what it is they should be told. It is better to keep a child in the dark rarely, only when they are to young to understand. Also, you do not want to make the kids think the world is a bad place you just want them to be informed of the dangers. I don't think it is right to keep a child in the dark to protect them. After all, when could not telling a kid something benefit them. Telling hem is prevention and that is benefitting them. **
