Sounds to me as if you are the one underestimating kids.
I remember, when I was a kid, parents who would not let their children be in school for sex education -- didn't want them exposed! Wouldn't let them be around children of a different faith or a different race.
You can put blinders on a child I suppose...but I am not sure what that accomplishes.
I would rather a parent let a child see the world and decide what they value, what they don't. You know...trust you kid to make the right choice based on the values you have taught them? That is what my parents did.
So good bye and so long!
