We have to remember that when we try to keep children away from TV, Video Games, or computer games etc, we are in direct competition with those big people who have created & marketed those games. They are very intelligent, and know how to make money, so they are far more superior than us in attracting children towards those games than us, when we try to discourage children! The only advantage we have,( it is indeed a very big , significant advantage), is that the children are very much within our reach, and we love our children unconditionally. So, we have to maintain awareness of this advantage, and patiently explain the disadvantages of spending too much time on these games, using the stories of real life heroes, who perform well in… [cont.] Answered by Spiritualseeker - Fri Nov 30 05:25:10 2007 At what age do children start to differentiate myth and reality? Q. We're all taught myths as children as a means of providing explanations for things we don't have a hope of understanding due to our level of cognitive development. Things such as creation myths, for example, help parents answer their kid's questions without requiring the child to first go to college. ;) So... At what age do we start to have the cognitive abilities necessary to understand the myth/reality dichotomy? I'm particularly interested in published studies of children that are relevant to this question. Thanks! Asked by Brad H - Wed Jun 24 11:52:46 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A.

Q. A couple I know have 4 children, aged 15,13, 2 and 11 months. It looks highly likely that both parents are going to be sent to prison. What will happen to their 4 children? Asked by ^_^ - Mon Oct 13 16:53:45 2008 - - 46 Answers - 0 Comments A. They will become wards of the state. If they have no family members who will be willing to take the children, they will go into the foster care system. Before mom and dad go, they could make arrangements for them to have a legal guardian to take care of them. Otherwise the above.
