A child growing up in a normal family should know that he can approach his mother with absolutely any question, and she will answer in a clear and friendly manner. But this rule, like all others, has exceptions.
When a child is still small, he absorbs all information like a sponge. True, the baby's psyche is still being formed, so it is important for adults to monitor what they say with him so that he grows up with a positive attitude to life and is open to everything new. There are at least three topics that should never be discussed with young children.
1. Your intimate life
Yes, that's right, when it is the mother who first tells her children how they were born. After all, if you miss the moment, children will learn everything about this delicate topic in the yard from some boy who will add a lot. This is fraught with the fact that the child will develop a perverse idea of one of the most important aspects of life, which can remain so forever.
What children shouldn't know exactly is the number of sexual partners that their mother had before meeting their dad. If you and your spouse, after the parent-teacher conference, have arranged a little adventure for yourself in the stall of the school toilet, you should not tell your child about this either.
2. Financial problems
The child must understand that money does not come out of nowhere at the snap of a finger and does not come out from under the mattress, and if it does, it is only if it was put there in advance. Be that as it may, it is important to convey to your child: first you need to earn money, and the process of earning it is rarely simple and quick.

Still, there is no need to darken the bright period of childhood with fears that the family may become poor or lose a roof over their heads due to the huge debts of their parents. A kid will not be able to help adults fix their financial situation.
Only now children are sensitive to the words of their parents and take them to heart. Any joke or accidentally thrown phrase that seems harmless and meaningless to adults can make a child seriously worried that his family, that is, his whole world, is facing a financial tragedy.
3. Errors of youth
It is very important that mom and dad become examples for children - at least while they are still young. It is imperative to explain to the child how to learn from their own mistakes, so as not to repeat them. Only in childhood does every person need parents, ideal and always fair in everything. Mom and Dad should become moral models for their kids, thanks to which they will understand how to behave in order to grow up as a worthy person.
It is not at all necessary for a child to know that his mother had bad habits in her youth, that she once got involved with bad company or betrayed someone. That's when the baby grows up, then you can tell him about all your sins in your youth during a heart-to-heart conversation. In the meantime, the child is small, be ideal for him in all respects.
