It's also a good reminder that children are better served with honest communication in an age-appropriate way rather than "protecting them" by keeping silent.Children see too much not to realize when something is going on.They often know what's going on, but struggle to put meaning to it.That's where a parent's courage to speak out and share helps the most.
