Hypothetical: if it came out that diet/chemical exposure could "re-normalize" your child's development (and assuming that this is the healthy, "how it should be" age), would you do it? Even if all their peers were developing early?

I'm surprised this wasn't an advertisement for this movie:

No it does not, but dare I say I'm inclined to give her the benefit of the doubt? I'm biracial, and ("our") race is spoken and joked about in our home in a way that you would NOT do in public. We have our own filters, and in our family we're very open.

You missed this sick photobomb

I am of the camp that more information is always best. Why strip your kid of what some people consider a "fundamental" childhood experience, when you could instead give them the tools of critical thinking to unravel it themselves?
