avira,
You bought into the lie that anyone that’s not Frum lives an empty life full of sin. Do you think a Secular boy is interested in discussing gender instead of sports or dinosaurs or playing cops and robbers (or as your kids play “Talmidei Chachomim and Apikorsim”)? Do you think responsible secular parents hand their kid an ipad with full internet? Young children do as their parents do and want to make their parents proud. That you think kids are having hashkafik arguments in their head shows you don’t understand how children think and learn. I go to a relatives house for Shabbos meals and some of us walk and some of us drive (& park right out front). My kids don’t ask why we walk and others drive, they simply know we walk and others don’t. Do you think these kids won’t be exposed to the outside world as time goes on? But it’s your assumption that kids discuss these things themselves or with other kids that’s wrong. How are there any Frum Chasidish kids in Williamsburg? After all every Shabbos they see people driving down the road. Do they play music Shabbos afternoon because they hear music on Shabbos? Of course not because they understand people live different lives and we live a life of being Shomer Shabbos and they’re proud of it.
