The rarest person of all is the parent who I’ve witnessed talking to their child about what they are seeing. And although I can count these people on a single hand, it never fails to restore my faith that humanity will carry on empathy where it needs to: That there will always be the shining role model of a parent who, instead of staring, or shush-ing, or walking away quickly, will bend down to the curious child and make a decent attempt at answering the difficult questions with a kind air about them.Love Without Shame by Anton PeckAs a father of a fifteen month old, I worry about so many things, my son's safety and health being at the top of the list. We're lucky - our little guy is hearty and curious about the world around him. He's developing well, and my deepest fear is that I will fail to do everything I can to help him be the absolute best human he can be. I know some things will be out of my control, but many opportunities will be in my hands.I don't bear the weight that Anton and his family do. I don't know how I would carry that. I do know that I have the most immense respect for he and his wife, as well as every parent in a similar situation.As my son grows older and experiences more of our world, I won't shy away from explaining it and I will do my damnedest to ensure that he treats each person, no matter their situation, with the respect, friendliness and humanity that they all deserve.I will do my absolute best to teach him to look deeper.If you haven't read Love Without Shame yet, please do.
