Top Reddit reviews mentioning Children's Values Books:
I'm an atheist dad. Let me start by saying that I don’t know too many atheists who are concerned that their kids don’t believe in god. Most of us are way more concerned about teaching them how to think, not what to think. When our son was your son’s age, we gave him children’s books that taught critical thinking. Stuff like Dan Barker’s Maybe Yes, Maybe No.
That said, there are some religious beliefs that are directly harmful, and need to be addressed immediately. In my son’s case it was the fear of hell. He had some friends that were being raised in Cristian homes. So, of course, he was exposed to Christian concepts. He knew (as well as a ten-year-old can) that we were committed to raising him to arrive at his own beliefs. But he was genuinely scared. I thought it was important to show him that his fears of hell were unfounded. I asked him if he was scared of the Islamic hell. He said no. I asked him if he was worried that he might get reincarnated as a bug after he died (many of his friends are Hindu). He chuckled and said no. After a bit he got it.
There’s a great children’s book out there: Have You Filled a Bucket Today? It should be required reading for kids. And it helps explain how to make the world abetter place a la karma.
It's a lot, but take it one day at a time.
>One of the hardest parts of this has been explaining what happened to my three-year-old daughter, whom he adored.
I recommend a book called The Invisible String for her.
>In addition, he was a hoarder who rented his house for 15 years.
My uncle, Dad's youngest brother was also a life long bachelor and a hoarder; not dirty, but just had a lot of "stuff". It took me 2 months to clean that house out.
I rented a big dumpster, bought a good back brace (very important) and only worked on the house about 2 or 3 hours a day. i was also working full time at the time.
Set your timer for a two hour time slot and don't do anymore. It's overwhelming.
Try this:
On the bright side, the price has been reduced, probably because it isn't selling very well.
Get books then and read them together. The ones in our sidebar are pretty good and the best part is Amazon has a little carousel of related books so you can quite easily end up finding a whole shelf full of potential content.
One particularly good book to promote skepticism is Maybe Yes, Maybe No: A Guide for Young Skeptics
There is also the Awkward Moments Children's Bible, Vol. 1
Which says it isn't for children and I'm going to hee and haw about that as I feel the Bible itself is inappropriate for Children and I further feel it is dishonest that many children's Bible's gloss over some bad parts. If you get it maybe read over it yourself before deciding if it's appropriate, I'd definitely give it to a teenager without reservation but younger children it depends on how mature they are and what you want them exposed to.
Anyways best of luck!
This might give ya a good idea

What conspiracy? The title of the literal article is "ATTTORNEY SAYS they are non binary". You may need to read 1 singular book in your lifetime. I know reading comprehension and nuance aren't your strong suits so here is a reading recommendation right at your reading level. Be careful though it may teach things like empathy and morals, etc. Here you go.
I haven't needed such a resource, because I'm an adult, but I always thought this book might be useful: https://www.amazon.ca/Maybe-Yes-No-Guide-Skeptics/dp/0879756071/ref=sr_1_1?crid=308T5KHWESGZ9&keywords=maybe+yes+maybe+no&qid=1668334470&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIwLjAwIiwicXNhIjoiMC4wMCIsInFzcCI6IjAuMDAifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=maybe%2520yes%2520mayb...
> I am just not sure the best way to go about any of this.
Be honest, and teach critical thinking, and the rest will take care of itself. there a bunch of good books that are age-appropriate. Maybe Yes, Maybe No: A Guide for Young Skeptics is a good example.
Ours were around that age when my mom’s longtime boyfriend passed. This book was a huge hit at the time
This book was ridiculously useful when our two oldest ones were 3 and 4
I posted this somewhere else in the comments, but here's my general theory. There's this meme floating around the woke left that children default to homophobic, racist, xenophobic views unless parents take great pains to pre-emptively exercise them of hate. It's the opposite of what previous generations believed, which is that you have to be taught to hate and it's not an innate "original sin."
But now the theory, however bogus it might be, is that you have to teach kids not to hate. That's how you get cash grabs like the anti-racist baby.
So there was someone who suggested that the goal of pride should be to "normalize queer" (never mind that being a contradiction in terms). So someone had the bright idea of normalizing queer by teaching kids about drag queens, and hence was born the "drag your kids to pride" idea. Right now no one wants to be labeled as homophobic or anti-queer, so people went along with it against their best judgment.
As cringe as all of this is, I think after the woke moral panic wears off, we'll see it as flawed. It's far from the only time we've done cringe things in the face of a moral panic. Remember the Satanic Panic of the 1990s and how everyone needed to teach their kids to be on the lookout for Satan-worshippers?
I agree it's inappropriate. Don't drag your kids to pride. Or if you do, don't drag them to a baudy, lewd event. Let adult spaces be adult spaces. But also don't freak out about this. Level heads usually prevail, eventually, and the best way to respond to a moral panic is not with another moral panic.
I tend to agree it's cringy. When you say "grooming" though, understand that means an intent to victimize a minor. I don't see any such conspiracy here.
Here's my theory that explains this: There's a concern, somewhat legitimate, on the left that young children will somehow default into being homophobic and racist and xenophobic if they aren't proactively taught not to be those things. I think that theory is probably bullshit, but it certainly exists, which is how you get cash-grabs like The Antiracist Baby (yes, that's a real book).
So ahead of Pride, some people considered, "How can we make sure kids aren't raised to be homophobic?" Someone else said, "Make sure they understand that queer people are normal. Normalize queer," and someone else said, "show them drag queens" and someone else said, "drag your kids to pride."
It went on from there. Given the climate we are in, no one on the progressive left wants to be seen as regressive, so it went ahead against, probably, a lot of people's judgment. And probably a few progressive parents were eager to demonstrate how progressive they were by taking their kids to the drag show. Someone said, "here tip the dancer," and this kid handed an adult man a $1 while he danced around to Ariana Grande.
Overall, I find the woke left tiresome. And I agree that, in particular, the text behind the danger was not appropriate for children. But to my mind, there's nothing scarring here. There's nothing to sit back in a therapist's chair and confess. It's far, far less troubling than what I've seen people on the right do in films like Jesus Camp.
Ultimately this is a mountain out of a mole hill. Inappropriate? Definitely. This just in, child goes to inappropriate show.

This book was in my niece’s kindergarten class. Anti racism (as Ibram X Kendi defines it) is absolutely a principle of CRT and is being taught to kindergarteners
I’m sorry for your loss.
This book was priceless when my mom’s long time partner passed. Ages were 1.5-3 y/o at the time, I can’t recommend it enough
I usually love to say, especially online:"If you want to increase your reading comprehension, I recommend at least reading one page of one book at some point. Here, I've got the perfect book for your level of reading comprehension:here."
The book is, Antiracist Baby. Feel free to peruse the brigaded reviews. I'm sure you will find common cause with many of the reviewers.
You need to stop being so selfish and think about how your behaviour affects those around you.
May I recommend the following reading...

Too superficial...?
By who's standards?
Yours? Why do those matter? Why does your opinion on other people's looks and style matter? Why do you feel she's only doing it for external validation?
Have you ever considered for maybe just a half second that she does all of this because SHE likes it. And she's allowed to like make up and social media and sun dresses. There's nothing wrong with that.
And by God, if she has confidence in her appearance. True, deep, confidence then why would you ever want to take that away from someone you love. Do you know how rare that is in our society? If she's that confident in her appearance, that's a fricken gift.
Even my little person knows that we build up the people we love, we don't tear them down or find ways to make their pros, negatives. Someone can be prettier, smarter, kinder, more successful. But tearing them down does not build us up.
Perhaps you should read this book that my preschoolers love Have you filled a bucket today
This book was a fantastic resource for us when we had to tackle the subject when my mom’s long time partner passed from cancer.
Our eldest was a bit older than yours, but our second was around that age.
It sucked, don’t get me wrong, but it gives you concepts they can grasp in a format they already understand
We're atheists, so my son was raised on a non-religious environment. When he was about that age he had questions about hell, death, etc. from friends, schoolmates, and media. We, like others here, told him that no one knows what happens after death. But the time to believe something is when it's indicated by evidence.
This is a good time to start teaching children critical thinking. There are great books on it for kids of all ages, like <em>Maybe Yes, Maybe No</em> by Dan Barker.
Our jobs as parents isn't to teach them what to think, but how to think. With a good epistemological toolbox, kids are more prepared for the real world.
I recommend The Invisible String by Patrice Karst.
- a nurse
This book has proven to be priceless ever since we had to take on the issue of death. I think our eldest was 3-4 at the time
This book has proven priceless ever since we’ve had to take on the issue of death. I think our eldest was 3-4 at the time
Answer the questions as they come, no need to hide anything. You can absolutely say, “I’m not sure, hadn’t thought of that, but we can look into it and try to find some answers”
Those feelings she will feel and have to face and process eventually, so the more internalized they are early on, the better.
This book has proven to be a fantastic tool for us since we first had to broach the subject of death. I think our eldest was 3 or 4 at the time.
>I think Amazon prioritizes reviews from people who bought the item in question.
Possible. I would still consider that censoring.
>I also think everyone approaches this book with some knowledge of it.
Having seen other "sensitive" works like take for instance "Antiracist Baby" which I'm sure we all want to be reminded me of. It has 500 1 star to 6,000 over all. There is no way plenty of people won't be dropping in to let their ire out.
