They'll be going out into the world to be devoured if they don't understand the temptations and enemies they'll face.

While I was growing up in the 1950s in Catholic school I was taught about such temptations and empowered to resist them. My home and my school training did not require my being subjected to those temptations on a daily basis as are children today in much of our culture. It was easier for my parents and teachers to inculcate in me a sense of right and wrong when my young mind was not being subjected to a barrage of contradictory messages by the culture.
