Explaining 9/11 to a two year old.

So, you guys presumably think this is the most important moment in american history since vietnam right?

So, at what age should you teach your kid about it?

And if you say you should start early, like this guy did, you need to deal with it in a way that is engaging to the child.

He chose to teach his two year old (toddler of unknown age, whatever) and he chose one route to engage the child in the event. Overall maybe its a little misguided perhaps, but nothing more.

Bear in mind im neithern a parent nor american so its not affecting me for a long time, if ever. But overall i just dont see the big deal here.

My 3 year old nephew does this all the time. The father in the video is drunk as [censored], btw.

Yes, it is.

Kids at that age do not have the comprehension or understanding to take in an event such as that. I would say around 7 or so, 6 at the earliest.

Yes, but the child is more interested in the blocks themselves in the video.

Overall it's idiotic.

In a few years I will have to explain to my children why I was deployed and this is something I will have to bring up.

[illeagle]

You were deployed because you voluntarily joined a volunteer army. Don't blame that on some Saudi Arabians crashing into some buildings.

Dear Minitrue,

Please be assured that us loyal 2+2 citizens know that this misguided poster meant to type Iraqis. Please don't send me to room 101.
