I was just discussing today that adults, parents and teachers all shelter children from life and in doing so harm the children.
They stymie critical thinking.

YOU TAUGHT THEM TO BE DEFENSELESS!!
Exactly. My step-dad was givin’ me grief about taking my 11-year-old son to the range. He asked me, “When would an 11-year-old boy ever need to know how to shoot a Glock 19?”
Being the smart @ss I am, I started with the Zombie apocalypse and moved on to alien invaders. How do you answer such an uninformed question?
I teach my kids to respect the weapons in my house. It’s not what they’re prepared for that I worry about - it’s what I can’t foresee.
