One of the Topic from this new Article: Films that inspired real life murders... And then, there is this:

 

But this image is laughable enough

 

 

"Twilight was blamed for driving one Iowa teen crazy, even more so than the fangirls. After a 13-year-old girl was bitten by a male classmate, a vice principal at their school investigated and learned that the boy had bitten 10 others in one month. When contacted, the boy's father said that it was his son's love of the Twilight film that made him bite his fellow students."

So not free-thinking...as if a young child (who looks around the age of 3 and probably doesn't even know what "religion" and "atheism" are) should even be expected to have intellectual thoughts on the subjects.

 

This image made me laugh so hard I think I nearly cracked a rib...

I'd guess her mom looks just like one of those 300lb pagent moms but with more body hair and wearing a fedora.

When my daughter was 7 she knew the basics of the major religions of the world and could point out 6 constellations in the night sky, and could recite the last ten US presidents and last ten UK monarchs. She also knew most of the pantheons of the Greek, Norse, and Celtic mythos because she asked questions and I never dumbed my answers down because she was "a little girl". I never forced ANYTHING on her but also didn't once tell her she was too young to understand. I have taught her if she wanted to know something to keep asking questions until she is satisfied and to NEVER accept anything when ANYONE says "Because that's just the way is" or "because I said so".

 

Kids are much more clever the most people give them credit for.

Except when they're not. One of my high school science teachers made this very clear when he showed us a list of some of the stupid questions kids had asked him over the years.

Now that I think about it all were questions Jaden Smith has probably asked on twitter by now.

Not really.

That child appears to be around four years old. Which is too young for the majority of the frontal cortex t have formed, as well as the hypothalamus (where memories are stored). Children will repeat exactly what their parents tell them, as such if you tell your child to go around believing that they are special because X they will do so. They are sponges for information, but it isn't until much later when they are able to critically think about said information...

 

Unfortunately, not all people make use of that skill. Although, I'm sure your children will thankfully be an exception for that.

Does asking questions prove idiocy, or does it show that the person doesn't want to be an idiot anymore?

I agree...if I kid asks a "dumb question" they are asking because they want to know. If their question seems silly it's either that they are ignorant (in the literal sense) or have not been around people who have enriched their learning experience. IMO

 

 

Does the frontal cortex have anything to do with playing music? All three of my kids could play songs on both the piano and guitar at age five. At four, my middle son could read music better than I can (little bugger!)

The point he was making is that there is indeed such a thing as a dumb question. There are a lot of dumb questions it turns out.

No, that's the temporal lobe if I remember correctly (which I probably don't). The frontal cortex is where all of the fun thinking/planning/interacting with others develops. Which isn't to say that young children can't do those things, but it's not going to be as detailed as an adults (if they even remember it).

 

There are two possibilities for what's occurring if you tell a child that they're in trouble for doing something "bad" and they say "I don't know". They COULD be lying, but that's only possible if they learned how to lie from a parent/peer (and even then they have to be punished for telling the truth). The more likely cause would be because they don't remember because they don't. 

 

Edit: children embody social learning theory as well as Skinnerian behaviorism.

Yes, but what is the relevance to this subject? 

 

Which even for off topic is getting off topic...
