Kids/Guns

[Yugo]

Pay close attention to the very end

Knowledge is power.
Instead of hiding the guns away (hidden fruit) the 2 children were taught respect.
Sadly, only the two:
- didn't touch
None:
- left the area
- told an adult

Eddie Eagle needs to be in schools

I dunno what people are teaching thier kids these days.
As i have said in the past, my soon to be 6 year old boy will not touch Dads guns without DAD present. Even when Grandma and Grandpa have tried to get him to "go get Daddys gun" or when he is left lone in the workroom he will not play with dads guns.
This is because he has been taught since he was 2 years old not to play with other peoples things. We started with do not play with Mommy and daddys stuff on the nightstand or in the bathroom and we continued to reinforce that behavior. At 4 years old he was taught that guns were really really dangerous and he went on range trips with Dad. He doesnt wonder what guns do or sound like, he KNOWS. He was shown the 22 rifle I bought him long ago, and told it is his rifle, but he cannot ever touch it without asking Dad, and if he ever does he will lose it. He is wishing for the day he can properly hold the rifle (wont be long now he is growing like the proverbial weed) so Dad will take him shooting. He knows that before he can shoot the real gun- and make no mistake he knows the difference between play, bb, and real guns- he has to prove that he can be trusted first with his toy guns- and he has so far- and then with a BB gun which he will likely get in the next week or so.
He has even been taught that there are no guns allowed at school, even toy ones. And if he sees someone other than a policeman with a gun at school he needs to tell the teacher and if he sees a gun and shooting to run and hide, dont wait for the teacher to tell him what to do. He has been taught that he is not to touch any guns without permission and even then only when Dad is around.
He has been taught that there are things in this world that will hurt him, like guns, and cars. He knows not to play in the street, and to never walk in parking lots without holding hands with an adult, and to look both ways when crossing a street, because cars are big and he is little and they will smoosh him. He knows not to eat anything with tree nuts because he is allergic and to not talk to or go with strangers. Because he is little and there are things in the world which will hurt or kill him.

Its called parenting folks, not rocket science.

Holy cow! Something we actually agree on.

While lenient on criminals, I'm relieved that you're a good dad. Thanks for doing it right so your son will grow up to be intelligent and responsible. Those qualities will be very rare when he's an adult...

I am not lenient on criminals, I just believe once a debt is paid, its paid. Otherwise there can be no faith in any system.

Is that all you took from my comment?

Lets leave that alone. At this point we're...

Point is, I'm trying to compliment your parenting. Glad there are still some good parents out there.

Peace
