Obviously, it is common sense to go to great lengths to protect one\u2019s child, especially from opportunists and abusers.<\/p>\n
But there are ways in which \u201cprotecting\u201d a child can also cause home. Hopefully, Amy understands this.<\/p>\n
Not allowing a child to meet any other adults (instead of introducing them to adults but ensuring that they remain safe) is poor socialization. Even worse is keeping a child isolated from meeting random, age-appropriate peers.<\/p>\n
In fact, we see this in the Duggar cult. Much of the family subjects their children to homeschooling. Even if they were qualified teachers teaching a real curriculum (which is not what\u2019s happening), their kids are missing out on meeting other children and experiencing the real world.<\/p>\n
The most important step in safeguarding a child against predators is making sure that they have the language to explain what happens to them, and the context that a predator is doing wrong.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
