This show is a masterclass on the effects of your words on children.
The other day my mother-in-law said to my two year old: "don't go out there, it's dark and scary" and I had to correct her "it's only dark, there's nothing scary about it.". Instilling fear leads to very early anxiety issues that are unnecessary and leave - evidently - permanent marks.
The god/ death issue made me think a lot. It was probably the best thing my parents did for me: this is what I believe in, these are your options, there's maybe nothing, there's maybe something. Read up and ask away, we will accept your opinion.
Great great show!
