Is it good to take kids part into adult conversation?

No careguarden, I donot think childrens to be allowed in such discussions. Adults discussions does not begin with zero they are just continution of one after another matter. If childrens gets involved in it they may not have proper have infomation and may its to early for them to get involved in it. Thus half or incomplete information would prove to be harmful to them and may involve them in wrong thinking. so they must be away from such disscussions.

Interesting topic, careguarden. I feel that children should take part in adult conversation (topic appropriate, of course) because it will give them insight on how adults interact and will improve their language skills.

I have mixed feelings about this, and think that this is a very good question that many parents should seriously think about. When I was younger, I was generally excluded from conversations of an adult nature. They were a big no-no, and I just simply could not be trusted without running my mouth off and blabbing to others at a young age. However, I accepted this and was fine with it. I mean, I had no reason to be part of the gossip, nor would I have had anything worthy to contribute to the conversation as a whole. Usually, things like relationships and finances would crop up in such conversations, and these are things that kids do not need to hear about until they are at an age when they can understand and be mature about this kind of discussion. However, I don't agree with dismissing children from every conversation the "grown-ups" have, especially as they begin to grow up themselves and get older. It can be beneficial for them to listen to certain conversations providing they aren't too "mature", as it can teach them many things about communicating with others and about how social dynamics work.

Never careguarden, kids are like mirrors, they reflect you. I think you should stick on to what your parents did. You might think that our topics of discussions are not interesting for them and they leave, but you will be surprised to see your kid repeating what he had heard from your last discussion.

Kids may learn something frome adult conversation,whether it is good or bad to kids.That depend on what kind of conversation adults are having!

kids should be aware fo whats going on in the world so they are not ignorant. howver these conversations hsould be factual so its not propganda beign fed. at the same time, tehy shouldnt be exposed mor eoften than they are to their own setting of childhood, so they can enjoy being akid, at teh same time, growing up with awareness

My parents were the same as yours and we weren't allowed to listen in on adult conversations (though I have eavesdropped). Now I have kids of my own, my husband doesn't mind them taking part in adult conversation...but I still think it's not right. I went along with my husband at first but when i realized that I didn't like the way our son was losing his innocence quite early, I want to stop it...and always keep asking my son to go play with other kids or to play by himself in his room when we have guests.

Young babies listen to language and by the time they are a toddler they begin saying words. Before that stage they babble away. I think that young children should be allowed to listen to adult conversation. Over a period of time they will learn more and more vocabulary. My toddler son is two and a half years old and he understands much of what is said. He can say around sixty different words. I talk with adults and my son listens whilst increasing his knowledge of words. My baby girl is only five months old and she is taking in an early knowledge of language to say in the future.

My mom allowed me to stay. However my aunt doesn't let her children stay during adult conversation. From my experience, I think that I learned a lot at a young age. It's not necessarily something good nor bad. I used to live in an appartment which was really small and only has 3 rooms, 1 would be the kitchen, toilet, and the combo bedroom/living room. Adults might talk about serious things. From my experience, I think that I learned a lot at a young age. I knew alot of secrets and things that are related to my cousins and that they don't even know. In a way, it made me grow up faster and become mature. I think like an adult when my cousins are older than me and are still acting like children. Probably I heard some bad gossips about people and didn't want to become like that so i shaped myself. Sometimes, my mom asks me for advices. Most of mylot questions I answer are adult difficult situations lol. I think it will also help myself in the futur.

It just depends if there are words that are inappropriate for them to hear but more so if they are really young. I hate the idea that they get corrupted so easily if they hear cussing words. Having some adult conversaion is somewhat good but not where it would make you a bad parent. I am a mom myself who is expecting a fourth girl in February and somewhat is tired of being pregnant. I am however am doing good for health reasons with no back problems compare to the other three girls whom I was pregnant with. If the kid decide to leave, then it is good. Maybe some kids would like to hear the adult conversation but as I said, it just depends if the other adults would be saying inappropriate stuff or not. Kids need to play with other kids anyway.

The same goes for us our parents never ever let us hear a thing , but then I watched all my relative do so and if their kids are not part of that conversation they will elt them know afterwards. This is so bad, coz adults might say things to each other which are okay due to their age group and thinking etc; whereas a child might not be able to understand it and later on question it which might lead to complications etc. Its better to make the kids indulg into someother activity while adults are busy in their own chit chat

My mom was a little like your mom. She didn't allow me to get involved in the adult's conversation but if I were to sit quietly, I was allowed to stay in the same room as the adults. Sometimes the things that they talked about can be quite boring so I ultimately will leave the room. With my children, I do let them stay in the same room as other adults. They would eventually get bored and leave to play with other children of their age.

I dont find any kids these days. With the kind of exposure they have of the world what with tvs, pcs and the like they sometimes know more than us. There is no point in barring them from joining in the discussions.

Well, my case i would not allow kids when ever there is a serious or sensitive talking with adults. Kids are easy to capture any things or actions we does. So its always better to involve them while a good conversation with adults and rest have to avoid them.

No, I don't think that is good at all. It makes a child seem as if they are grown and older. I never let my kids engage in any conversations when I am talking to an adult. I will just tell them to go into another room while I am talking. Kids can pick up things that you would not want or expect them to hear. Keeping them out of conversations can be the best thing to do !
