Toi, wonderful. So we would have different parenting styles. Actually, as I said a few posts up, I don’t think that children need Facebook at all, so I wouldn’t purposely have them create accounts and hope they learn from their mistakes, because that is irresponsible. If my wife and I would decide that our child is old enough to understand the possible pitfalls of having it, and would be able to learn from them, and is at the stage where having it may be beneficial, then we’d probably allow it. Now, I’d like to ask you a question. I understand your method perfectly, that you do not wish to to have your child negatively affected at all and therefore will keep him away from it entirely. Would you employ that method in all areas of your child’s life? Such as your child’s physical well-being, emotional, etc.? Would you not allow your child to learn how to ride a bike because he may fall and cut his knee? A child learns how to properly ride a bike by trying it out, falling a few times, hurting himself a few times, and after a while, he learns from his mistakes and is able to do it. And I think the same concept is true for everything in life.
