How can children be protected from religious people who try to manipulate them into their cults?
Q. Should children be told to be suspicious of religious people, to distrust them and suspect them of trying to lure and entrap them into a system of lies? Is it ok to teach children that religious people are a bunch of liars, morons and generally people of unethical principles?

A. Wow, look at the hatred spew from you. Tell my kids 'm a lying moron with unethical principles and they are going to look at you like YOUR a moron.

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. Around 7years -11years (Concrete Operational phase in Cognitive Development) At this time children are developing logic. See link for more information.

How a website collecting children's information verifies a parental consent e-mail is really sent by parent?
Q. Acording to "The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998" a commercial website requires "verifiable parental consent" before collecting information like e-mail addresses from children. For the internal use of the website, this means getting an e-mail from the parent. The question is how an e-mail can be verified that is realy sent by the parents.
Asked by Sina D - Mon May 19 08:55:37 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Usually a website will say "Enter your parent/guardian's email address here" and once that form is submitted, an email is sent to that email address. That email asks for confirmation. But there really is no way of assuring a child enter their parents email, or another one of their own.

  • Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea...Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.
  • You can't raise a child in a vacuum. All that carpet dust will clog up the kid's lungs.
