How much information would you give to your child?

My daughter is 7, and i can't tell her why her father and me are angry with each other, she will not understand. we do not discuss things which she is not supposed to know at this age. may be when she reaches puberty, i can confide in her few worries as a friend. daughters are more matured than boys of same age. but by worries I do not mean husband wife relationship. May be I can talk about finances or health problems etc. this way even she will open up about hers. It all depends on children to children, some are very understanding and matured enough and also the rapport u share with ur kid.

It's healthy to have a good conversation with your child, you can always talk to them as a friend so they will tell you how they feel and confide in you. Whenever they have problems they will approach you. You must be a strong ideal, as for me I never show them my weaknesses. I don't want to involve them with my problems because I don't want them to be a grown up and I don't want them to misjudge people or a certain situation. Let our children live happily their childhood, don't let them be a confidant in dealing with our problems. :-)

Information on a parent's personal life (that life not directly related to the child) ought to be given on a need-to-know basis, in an age-appropriate manner. No, your kid doesn't need you to vent about your friends or spouse or job. You're an adult, they're children. If you must vent, vent to another adult or write in a journal. Don't put that weight on your child - it's not fair to them or to you. Blessed Be

I have had alot of things going on lately that my kids ask me why things are the way they are. Sometimes I tell them, then there are times that I don't because they just don't understand. A good example of one thing would be me not talking to my sister. I have tried to explain why or how come their cousins don't come over. I told them that my sister is stubborn. She told them it's just between me and her yet she sees them and ignores them if they cross her path. It's nothing that they did but because they are my kids she just refuses to look at them so if it's between me and her why she does this.

hello bingskee i am very open with my son i tell him everything and then he can make his own decision on what to do or not to and he can learn from my life so then hopefully he doesn't have to go though what i am or did.

I am careful about what I tell my son. Yesterday he got into my maxi pads and was playing with them. He got in trouble for it- I told him that is something moms need every month and they can be expensive. He is only 8 so I did not go into details. I do not tell him when I am mad at his dad. Sometimes we end up arguing in front of him but we always kiss and make up afterwards. He needs to know that is part of a healthy relationship so he is not afraid to argue with his spouse someday. It is just a part of being married.
