Instilling Morals in Children

Parents/guardians have always had a huge influence on children and their opinions as they’re growing up.

For example, when I was younger (like 8), all I heard around me being gay is “bad bad bad”. One day my mom brought it up, and essentially said “If we can love who we want to, why can’t they?” And it was like a switch flipped. Parents have a bigger influence than I think they get credit for, and this can either be used to help or to harm.
