On this point, we've got 3 kids (our daughters are 16 and 13) so he's obviously in conversations with us when they're involved too and is aware of things that aren't just relevant to 9 year olds. There's the good, bad and the ugly that goes on in the world, so it all gets absorbed. They're all clever kids (even if I do say it myself), so I know we can't just ignore things and pretend they don't happen, we try to talk through them so at least they know a version of the truth, rather than just the playground chat.I know you know this but it’s amazing what kids pick up on. My wife is a primary school teacher and is always amazed at how much 8-11 year olds understand or at least know of. I imagine there’s a lot of chat about Russia and soon it will be people losing their houses.
