Children are highly suggestive to subliminal programing contained in cartoons, books, movies, kindle, video games, and other child oriented media. Be very aware and watch with them sometimes with your comments as to what is true and important in your household. You will sometimes observe political messages. Intervene and instruct. Teach critical thinking for their age appropriate understanding. “We don’t do that in our family.” “That isn’t right.” “You can’t treat people like that.” “That is not smart.”
The culture is after them early about how to treat people, what is important, what is right or wrong, how to act, what to think, how to spend your time, etc. It is all there. It takes hold slowly and surely. Don’t be surprised, and wonder how and why they think as they do as teenagers and young adults. The teachers were put into place early without your knowing it.
