Excerpt from Blossom Babies: How to Tell the Life Story to Little Children There is much diversity of opinion among thoughtful men and women as to how and when and where and by whom the life story should be told to children, or whether it should be told at all. Some claim that with knowledge of these deeper things of life the child loses much of his frankness and sweet unconsciousness, and that, therefore, it is best not to intrude upon the child's innocence. This view is, however, rapidly giving way to a saner and safer view. Since it must be admitted that children in this country are precocious and unduly excitable, that they are filled with restless curiosity, and that they learn sex facts at an early age whether the parent wishes it or not, most thinking parents acknowledge that there is no choice for the mother who wishes well for her child but to tell the story herself and so forestall the garbled tales of the street and playground. Again, no child of average power of observation fails, early in life, to learn that there is sex. All too often a child scarcely out of its babyhood imbibes a vague sense of shame as the result of unwise remarks that are made in regard to its own innocent and unconscious acts. Again, even the child of the wisest parent must go forth from the home nest, and he will come in contact with children whose sex sense is more or less perverted.
