Matthew: That is such a disrespectful place.
Abigail: They just fill it with GERMS!!! And the children get sicker and SICKER!!
Matthew: They should just plow it down and build a mall so we can buy toys.
Me: Guys. What are you talking about!?!
Matthew and Abigail: CHUCK E CHEESES MOMMA!!
Abigail: IT HURTS MY FEELINGS THERE!!!
What did we learn?
Propaganda works. Years and years of tireless propaganda WILL eventually work.
How can I get started implementing propaganda in my home?
We all have those places that we will never take our children. Use rhetoric that instills fear when describing those places. As you can gather, words like disrespectful and sick and children are the trigger words that really got through to Matthew and Abigail.
Do I need to start at a certain age?
Much like reading to your children, it's NEVER too soon to start.
You've basically nailed parenting, what are you going to do next?
Realllllllly start driving home the fact that life isn't about buying toys.
