I think that parents should be careful of what they say around their children depending on what the conversation is about, because every conversation a child hears can affect them positively or negatively. Some conversations aren’t meant for children to hear until they reach a certain age because it’s not good to sugar coat everything, especially as they grow older and experience new things. When they are at a certain age where they can understand things better, I think that the parents should be honest with the child but also be careful of how they say things/how they come across. They shouldn’t be too blunt, brutally honest, or tease them a lot because I think it can affect the child negatively as they get older. I think the parents should be nicer and careful about how they say things but still be truthful.

hey, I totally agree with you. Adults need to understand that children aren’t fully developed to hear this kind of criticism. They are very fragile, especially at a young age.
Hi, I like your response because you stated how it actually affects kids. It is right that parents should be nicer because kids does not think the same as adults.
We have a common perception with Student 2 regarding parents’ and elders’ conversations around children. However, I can’t entirely agree with the view that certain conversations aren’t meant for children to hear until they reach a certain age. I believe children need to some parts of the truth earlier to reduce the burden of breaking down the entire truth to them later in life.
Hi, your opinions are so well considered. Yeah, sugar coat can not cover everything. Parents should not brutally honest to their kid. It will hurt the feeling of the kids so much, and this kind of painful maybe will not even heal.
I see you point in that adults should properly gauge the context of the conversation if a child may hear it, sometimes the conversation should not be within ear-shot or even meant for children as they are not as developed and learned at the moment. Teaching and guiding after a conversation is something I haven’t commonly seen or experienced in regards to the effects it may have on a child.
